  1. Re:Hmm, what about normal cordless telephones by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Study on RF and Genetic Damage

    Newer PCS stuff runs at 1.9 GHz which is about 2x as high as these cordless phones. The main difference however is the power. Your cordless phones use much less power then the cell phones. I don't have an exact number but I would guess it is less than 1 watt. By comparison, your average microwave oven is going to be a couple of hundred (if not a thousand) watts.

    Back to the cordless phones... I saw an advertisment trying to push 2.4 GHz phones. I would think those would pick up alot of interference from microwave ovens. The handset only sends 900 MHz.

  2. Looking for an equivalent product? by kjw · · Score: 1 · on Web Tablets - Wireless Web Browsers?

    You guys keep saying "that'd be nice to put linux on it when it comes out" but there are already several products that are touchscreen laptops. Most with attached keyboards, one or two without. Here are two of them:

    There are more, but these are the ones I could find easily.

    Additionally, wireless networking is starting to be cheaply available (albeit a short range of ~150 feet indoors) - Diamond HomeFree costs only about $100-$150 a node. CHEAP compared to previously available wireless network cards! NOTE: Proxim is offering a product (Symphony) hat has identical specs. I'm not sure whose product is whose here. I suspect that proxim is the mfg, and diamond is OEM'ing it.
