Bluetooth dialup can trasmit maximum of 115200bps which is just one 10 tenth of what EVDO is capable of!!.
EVDO maximum speed is 2.4mbps and on average it will give you 900 kbps.
Bluetooth in its present form cannot support this high speed datatrasfer.
USB can also be used to charge your mobile handset or data card, which is important for longer usage.
you try using Bluetooth in active for an hour and your battery is drained.
GPS Gadgets will have accuracy in the range of 10 to 100mts, depending on the location,constructions or destructions around you.
In USA some of the models comes with WAAS (Wide area augmentation system), WAAS is a differential GPS system which uses directional satellites (INMARSAT54A) focused inside USA.
This means outside USA, WAAS will not be funtional.
you can always use the normal GPS functionality without WAAS(this gives uptill 10mts resolution).
Most of the GPS systems comes with user defined mapping systems, if you are serious about mapping villages,etc i suggest you to hookup a laptop which can do the detailed mapping by using the GPS attached to UART/USB/Bluetooth,etc.
You can easily implement a Windows/Linux chat program which uses one of Ogo supported IM protocol(AIM/Yahoo/MSN).
Later you can add this user to Ogo, which sends RSS news feeds(eg:reuters, stock quotes)in clear text to Ogo on demand or even based on some kind of menu selection.
Wardriving is history now.
Imagine the potentials of hacking in to systems by just sitting inside your room - welcome to Airdriving.
On the other hand, this standard will be very useful for new countries(eg: India) trying to play big in the broadband scenario, since it needs very less infrastucture(no need to laying cable's).
The WLAN cards will become cheaper once the taiwanese starts to clone.
Give the amount of spyware and other such softwares available, it would be wise if microsoft develops a new technology(API) for Auto-Updation feature of Third-party applications.
Other approach for the Software manufacturers is to make use of independent testing houses.(for functionality and Security/privacy issues)
There will be good acceptance rate for such certified softwares in the market.
This also poses an interesting threat to privacy in future, Imagine parents having access to buddy details of their kid, which can be found by "RFID Pairing"(just coined this new term).
This information can be recovered by checking the most common RFID tag(the other kid) registers at RFID scanners along with their kids.
Just a thought, Not sure how far this can be implemented!!

60GB iPod Coming?
·
· Score: 0, Troll
I will give a serious thought to buy this, if Apple allows me to use iPod as a Secondary storage device.
I can always store some huge zipped files by appending mp3 header.
I hope they will give me color options in earphone, iam really scared to walk out with white warphones.
Considering the amount/quality of spam i receive on my free web based accounts, i can assure to see V_I_A_GR+A, Increase Size, MASSIVE ads allover my bot personalized GMail account.

For travel blogging, i assume you need to upload few interesting pics took on your way.
My suggestion is to buy one of Sony Cybershot models(Eg: Sony DSC-P92).
The advantage with this model, drivers are very small and easy to install.
And after installation it creates a USB harddisk(which has all your pics(.jpg format) in it), just Preview with IE and upload to your blog.(special photo extraction software is not required)
Install the drivers over internet and connect your camera to the usb port.
(Keep the drivers in your personal webspace or just search for sony cam drivers link)
Infact you can use this Camera for storing, other types(.txt/.mpg) of files in the storage medium.
Mostly useless stuffs for travellers: PDA - Installing PDA Sync software on the Internet Cafe's machines might not be possible.(eg:WinCE/Palm Sync software are very big to download on low speed net connection.) Notebook - Its good to carry if you are tourist, wont workout for a traveller.
If you have enough cash, buying one of Sony Vaio slim models.
Enjoy your trip!!

India do have nukes pointed towards Pakistan, but it not an offensive posture, remember India is a Peace loving country, Kashmir is an Integral part of our country, we have every right to protect it from terrorists.

I still cannot digest the fact america has started a bloody ruthless war against the interest of the World community.
Certainly not a good sign for the president and the fellow americans.
Plese remember one cannot win a war without the support of the world community.
Time and again American presidents prove that they are just a bone-headed white collar thugs.
I not against the american people nor a supporter of Iraq, i live in india and iam very proud my country is against this bloody battle.
My only request to American president is, Pls inform your slave(read Tony blair) on the war decisions, he seems to be absolutely clueless.

You can use a embedded linux variant or slash a existing distribution(Redhat;-)).
AMD chips/display/audio cards are well supported in linux.
Use either a window manager/Qt/microwindows for GUI display.
If u choose to go with a window manager(KDE/Gnome) all the video/audio/browser apps will run without any trouble.;-)
Design a application (which runs in Full screen)
which will have a link to all the applications.

Considering Bluetooth range in Open Air, i will be surprised if they fly at random formation.
Best and Easier option is to fly Synchronized.
If so, Chinese users will be able to search all the information inside china.Will be very handy tool.
Iam very happy for them.
