It's designed to work with 802.11b networks, implements QoS and IP-to-IP call functionality and uses 128-bit WEP encryption. It also scans for 'available APs in [the] hand set's environment'. War driving just became a whole lot more interesting."

    might be a bit off topic,
    but wiring for power should probably go away.
    granted power over lines is currently cheaper than the .5 acre of solar panel / house. but I suspect the total cost is greater over the power grid is now much greater than solor. If it weren't for the REA the ongoing install/upgrade/maintain/protect from terorism of the grid, is greater than the solor panels...
