I have been using a Maxbook against Citrix Secure Gateway with Sprint and AT&T WWAN cards for about 8 months now. Isn't this just a rebrand of XP-Embedded? http://www.maxspeed.com/
Where is Lake Stevens? Kelso/Longview are about 25mi southwest. If you go south on I5 Kelso is the town that you end up breaking down in and going to the McDondalds or Sharis. The one with the big K on the hill. They actually did a great job of marketing it with a little "interpretive center" in Kelso.
Anyone else from the area remember the first time? I was 7, playing in my house in Longview, Wa. We heard the news, went out in the backyard and watched the mushroom cloud. Then got inside as about 3 inches of ash piled up on everything. We had to wear little paper masks to go outside....
We have had "cellular data cards" in the US since about 97. It started on the TDMA side with CDPD at 19.2kbps (9.6kbps usable) mainly from ATT over the TDMA network. They then went to GPRS (30kbps in real life) and now EDGE (120kbps in real life) and in select markets UMTS (actually a WCDMA technology that is hitting 800kbps on unsaturated networks). Previous to this they were doing the circuit switched thing over AMPS (some of this still exists for telemetric devices).
Concurrently the CDMA carriers started with CS/CDMA (going off hook and dialing a modem at 14kbps over the CDMA network), then went to 1xRTT at 50kbps in real life, then to 1xEvDO and eventually to 1xEVDV in some markets (saw evDO tested and was about 720kbps in a mobile environment). The reason we don't have ubiquitis coverage with said devices is the pure and simple fault of the FCC for breaking up spectrum the way they did initially. This is NOTHING NEW. I was installing and deploying CDPD to telnet into servers/routers in 98-99 (before I went to work deploying this stuff for one of the carriers). It is available at dialup/bri speeds everywhere you get CDMA or GSM voice today and at dsl speeds in many major markets.
I am sure that linuxdevices.com will be really fair and impartial in a debate over Linux devices. How much credibility would we all be giving it if it came from Microsoft?
You also have to buy a pigtail at about $20 and it only works with APs that have removable antennas, which the new Actiontec AP/Router/DSL Modem Qwe(r)st is giving out doesn't unfortunately. I nearly voided the warranty on mine to add a real antenna, until I found plans for one just like this one and it improved coverage in my back room by ~%26 with about 20 minutes work and at no cost! Otherwise the Cantenna is great if you wanna pay for the connectors. I built one for a 300 foot shot at my folks place out of a folgers can and it rocked.
I built one based on this http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template2/ind ex.html and it increased coverage in the back of my house by %26 according to the Cisco Aironet Desktop Utility when connected to my Qwe(r)st issued all in one Actiontec DSL TA/802.11G AP/Router. Given, it is not "increasing gain" just making it directional, but for 20 minutes work and no cost it was worth it.
AT&T wireless has three grades of mobile site. COW (cell on wheels, on a flatbed for urban coverage), VEAL (cell in a light truck for smaller deployments), and SPAM (these are set up indoors at trade shows and other events. They usually drop a T-1 dedicated to any of these.
A company in Canada has designed a "nanocell" that is lovingly called the "George Forman" they are as one would guess, the size of a Forman gril and use external patch antennas. They need about 20k per voice call which can be provisioned off of an existing internet connection. One of the American GSM carriers is investigating them. http://www.rivanetworks.com/nano/nano.htm --the NanoCELL.
Considering the CIA, NSA, Secret Service, Congress and White House all use them and that they are using 3Des I would say they are fairly secure from "hackers". They are reaching into NCIC which is considered one of the strongest most secure databases on the planet, to get certified to connect to it you can bet they are secure from "hackers". Accessing NCIC from a Blackberry is the least of our worries. Cop cars getting ripped off and access from an archaic MDT is more likely.
The current BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) allows you, as an admin to send a "poison pill" which will wipe the device automatically. They also have local passwords and an autolock feature set from the server. The device also wipes itself after 10 attempts with the wrong password.

Yeah, never saw wide deployment. We have over 3,000 remote logins to our Citrix farm a day from diskless thin clients around the world.
Displayed proudly in my cube. I tend to refer people to it when they ask about BGP/MPLS/EIGRP.
watched it out my window here at work and it was nothing. my folks are 25mi from it and got no ash. still more to come.

This group here in my home state of Oregon has a fantastic DARE type program focussed on computer use and ethics...

Less than zero?
Sounds all well and good, but will it get connected to FidoNet eventually? Will it have TradeWars?

Nah, they will rig it to an Angel and spray and pray. :)
who are we assuming "owns" the name? Give me a break.

I guess the big difference would be that the colors of the transformers did not make me want to get up (can't find the remote) and change the channel.
Please tell me they are leaving that dreadful theme song behind.
You think the beer computer case is good, you should see his PDA bong.
to start with it's XP embedded, so you can't make a great deal of changes to the config....
