The development of WiFi over the past 10 years or so has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in internet technology. For any place with WiFi, anyone can connect with the internet through their laptops after just a few easy clicks. Not only does this maximize connectivity for personal and professional use both at home and in public locations, but it also shows how great the developments are becoming in internet technology. As great as WiFi may be, the number of locations WITHOUT WiFi signals withing range still to this day greatly outnumbers those with. Flash forward to 2009 - there has to be a way to offer WiFi connection WHEREVER you may be. Right?
The solution to universal WiFi coverage is the Novatel MiFi, the latest in wireless internet connectivity.
Novatel has developed the MiFi so that anyone can take their high-speed wireless internet connection with them wherever they go. It’s now termed an “Intelligent Mobile Hotspot,” and from its early reviews, it sure seems to be hot among the WiFi crowd. Everyone is calling it the next big thing, and with specifications which make so many new things possible for both users and developers, the possibilities with this technology are endless.
The MiFi device is a small and sleek one, which is just about the size of a credit card – it is, however, a bit fatter than that. It also only has one switch, to turn it on or off. That simple and that small a device, and yet its development is a huge leap in mobile broadband technology. Such a compact piece of equipment, if one were to maximize its use, would be very powerful. It allows connections for up to five of your or your friends’ devices at once to access the internet over a single wireless 3G account.
Once it’s turned on, it creates a 30 foot (10 meter) radius where anyone can connect to the internet with their laptops, cameras, or other devices which could benefit from it. And with a battery life of four hours of usage and forty hours of standby, it also packs quite a charge for those long bus rides and family trips. Imagine being able to finish all your business reports, your online games, or your book report – perhaps even all at once – on the trip to grandma. That’s high-speed connectivity at its most convenient.
So what does the Novatel MiFihave over regular WiFi? Well, aside from being able to take the high-speed wireless connection that you enjoy with you anywhere, the mobile hotspot also pushes the speed limit to 3G speeds. Compared to other portable broadband connections, this speed is much, much faster than everything that has been currently developed up to this date. Also, a portable 3G wireless connection opens the possibilities for developers to create more mobile applications which require high-speed connections, since you’ll have this connection with you at all times. Uploading and downloading pictures you’ve taken right away from your camera would be something very possible and hassle-free with Novatel MiFi, when before you’d have to wait to get home first to do so.
Novatel has really developed something very important with MiFi. It’s a cool thing, being able to connect to the internet wherever you are and at whatever time. However, this technology is a sign of just how far connectivity has come. From smoke signals, we’re now able to bring high-speed internet connections wherever we are. Read more...
There is so much happening in the technological society today. As one amazing device surfaces, another ones comes up next! Users are not only given a wide variety of options to choose from, but they are also given a great big ride with the world’s latest innovations when it comes to technology and network sharing.
With this vision in mind, the TiPb are extending out almost all kinds of iPad coverage today, which is as bit as expected by users. By just looking at the iPad, one can easily tell that it is a cool device. This type of device does, not only make the user’s life easier, but it also makes the user look good while using it—just look at the sleek design!
Even though the release of the iPad is not much of a revolution of the pre-release hype which made it out to be, this device also has its upsides. So why not combine the iPad with Mobile Hotspots on webOS? It’s just like they’re a match made for each other!
Then again, even though iPad seems like it could not handle multi tasking, the doors for the webOS is definitely left open! This is just a perfect chance for a webOS which can do multi tasking to enter. With so much space in the iPad, the entry of the multi-tasking webOS will just be a cinch!
The webOs will enable iPad to finally do multi-tasking without the annoying interference of annoying notifications and at the same time, fitting “the next generation interface”. Who knows? Maybe someday, webOs could even be able to do Flash!
Followers of Nexus need not to wait anymore. The company has been known for producing products which suit the users need. Nexus aims not only to make life easier for users when it comes to information gathering and network sharing, but also in file transferring and the fad today—which is multi tasking.
If a device offers just one task to be done by the user then it is by far very practical and can easily catch the eye of a potential customer. Note that most products today made by other computer companies offer more than just one task in a single device, exactly as what the user wants.
Then again, Nexus’ has made its official grand release today for the rumored desktop dock for the Nexus One. This device is convenient, accurate and very much bears the official name of Nexus One Desktop Dock. This devise is sold at $45 separately or along with the users phone purchase.
Once you drop the phone into the dock, this triggers the clock application to be turned on which in turn gives the user the access to the alarms, music and even the weather! Isn’t it just amazing? It gives the user a lot of other options in just one click of a finger! However the special thing there is that at the back of the dock, the user can find a 3.5mm jack which can connect the users’ stereo system using a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, included in the package.
Whenever the phone is at rest at the dock, a phone charger is needed. The user has to take in to consideration, the presence of a Bluetooth. The audio may be ferried with the use of A2DP rather than using a hardwired connection, which is usually done. The dock can also be easily purchased from Google.
Palm has always offered the users the best out of its products. The company does not want anything lesser than “the best” for its users. You won’t find Palm giving out under developed devices to its customers. No siree, it would take Palm more than any kind of persuasion than to fail its users.
To take steps further, Palm has introduced at CES earlier this year that it is launching its new products. These products are the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus. Both function as mobile routers to enable the user to easily connect to the internet whenever they need to. Just install the application and the users instantly get Wi-Fi connection on either his or her phone or other Wi-Fi enabled device. It’s as easy as that! No need to install complicated software which take up most of the users’ time and patience.
Users need not worry since Palm uses wireless connection from Verizon Wireless. The Pre Plus sells for $149.99 after $100 rebate and 2-year contract, while the Pixi Plus sells for $99 after $100 rebate and 2-year contract. This are just the pricing rates which Verizon has announced to offer users if ever they decide to use the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus of Palm.
Palm’s devices are able to connect laptops, netbooks, iPods, smartphones and even gaming devices to the internet. This is all with the help from Verizon’s wireless connection. The user can be sure to get fast and dependable connection with Verizon behind the access.
As internet connections emerged, a lot of users were given the opportunity to conduct tasks and businesses online. Connectivity in the internet meant faster transactions and useful endeavors such as information searching or even downloading files which can be important to some organizations which need them instantly. This has become a great leap in human technology.
After saying goodbye (in the more contemporary sense) to wired connections, users fully embraced wireless connections as they were first introduced. Then there came hotspots. These are places wherein the Wi-Fi connection is strongest enabling users to connect to the internet without plugging into a modem.
Internet connection then invaded mobile phones. Now here’s where MiFi’s enter the scene. If you’re wondering what a MiFi is, fundamentally it is a wireless device which has a SIM inside. This can be connected to a laptop with the use of a USB, or even via Wi-Fi connection. Whichever way users choose to use, MiFi gets the signal on 3’s network, and viola! Users instantly get their personal dose of internet connection!
This type of wireless connection made life much easier and handy to users, especially to those who travel a lot and still need to be connected. If the user makes a wired connection to a laptop, they can use the microSD card reader and self-installing software, which can give texting capability. The great thing about MiFi, is that you can also use it with Wi-Fi enabled devices like the iPod Touch, which is being promoted by 3 in its website.
They first brought you their very first Wi-Fi hotspot router which can cater up to 5 Wi-Fi able devices (whether the devices are your laptop, netbook, iPod, smartphone and even your very own gaming device). Guessed it right? This router is more popularly known as the the MiFi 2200. This became the first mobile hotspot from Sprint.
But then again, Sprint doesn’t cease to astonish users. Before you could have had a chance to finish marveling the capabilities of the MiFi 2200, Sprint has its sleeves up again for another wireless hotspot product.
The Sprint OverDrive is a game-changing product which Sprint launched after the huge success of the MiFi 2200. The Sprint OverDrive is a mobile hotspot which enables connections to travel in an impressively high speed to Sprint’s nationwide 3G network. This also includes their faster 4GWiMAX network, connecting up to 5 wireless devices.
Sprint’s latest product is also known as the Sierra Wireless W801. With this hotspot router, users will not only be able to access their files online, almost anytime and anywhere they may be, but they can also avail of the fast connection the Sprint OverDrive offers.
When the iPod Touch and the iPhone made its debut, almost everyone went crazy about it. It was the thing of the century, it offered users limitless possibilities they could ever ask for in a device. That is why many people adored it, wanted it and of course, bought it. It’s one thing to be able to follow the trends in newly released devices, but it’s another thing when you actually love the technical capabilities of that device (the term techie comes around).
However, as others might be surprised, the iPod Touch does not possess a camera, 3G internet, GPS and compass. However don’t be ticked off too much. There have been recent innovations regarding on how to install 3G internet and possibly a GPS to your iPod Touch. Yes there are and these things are highly possible.
Turn the spotlight on to a device called the G-Fi. Now, what exactly is this? You may ask, what can this do to help your iPod Touch become connected? Here’s the catch: G-Fi can now add GPS to your iPod Touch, through its Wi-Fi capability. It can act like a MiFi because it can create a mobile WiFi hotspot. However, it does not have a MiFi’s ability to tube in the internet.
The G-fi can support up to 200 devices (beat that?). Any device which can enable Wi-Fi access can freely connect to the G-fi. It’s as easy as that! Believe it or not! A cost for the G-Fi is $100, with an additional charge of $30 for the connection. In order to pull up the application, you need to have the iPhone application Navmii.
Verizon Wireless could not get enough of sharing its connectivity to users all around the globe. It is only, mind you, the largest wireless data company in the industry today. Verizon has been known for providing 3G access to its users as well as collaborating with other companies to make wireless connections even in mobile, a quick and efficient task to do.
Recently, Verizon has teamed up with Palm, along with the introduction of Palm’s Pre Plus and Pixi Plus. Palm has innovated such applications in the mobile to enable users to connect to the internet as easy as just one click of a finger. Now where does Verizon enter here? In order to connect to the internet, Palm uses Verizon’s 3G connection.
With the use of this, Palm’s Pre plus and Pixi Plus can access the 3G connection, along with it, the device can also function as a MiFi router, enabling connection for up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices such as laptops, smartphones and iPods.
The great thing about this is that with the devices and Verizon’s connection, users can carry a handy and easy to access Wi-Fi router in their pockets! No w users can do their work or even check their emails, while travelling or outdoors. It really gives users a hassle-free feeling when it comes to connecting online.
The 3Gmobile hotspot offered by Palm and operated by Verizon, is perfect for almost anyone. It can be used during family vacation companion, or when the user is out of town, it also provides an allowance big enough to share even with your entire family, while you are uploading pictures, videos and even downloading games from the internet.
Wi-Fi connection became a booming fad ever since it became available for users. Why so? This is because not only can the connection offer network connectivity but it can also give the user hands free access to the network. Talk about not worrying about the wires anymore! Practical and handy!
However, Wi-Fi has only had limited areas to be available, mostly in coffee shops or in malls. Areas with most people in it. But then again, how about it if you’re travelling, just like in an airport? Not everyone has the leisure to set up their own wireless connections while they are on travel. Most people in airports are rushing and hurrying to finish their tasks on time. You know that you still need the connection at the precise moment but you’re not in an area wherein a hotspot is located. Now this is a lot of a trouble.
This is what the San Francisco International Airporthas considered and is now going to provide travelers who pass through the airport to be able to access the internet for free via wireless connection. Approval on Tuesday will decide whether traveler’s smartphones and laptops can soon be receiving free wireless connections within the airport vicinity.
With this set up, travelers, are able to access the internet through the T-Mobile hotspot. This move, yet to be endorsed by the San Francisco City Purchaser will take San Francisco along with its Bay Area Competitors (Which are the San Jose and Oakland airports who are already offering free internet to travelers). Wi-Fi advertising or sponsorship is the proposed solution to offset costs of providing this free service.
Not long ago, users where relying on internet connections with the use of land line phones. They were given an option to pay for monthly fees regarding to their purchase of the land line, which is also used as a modem for fast and fluid internet connectivity. Nowadays, users are given with more options with the coming of mobile wireless connections.
Users wouldn’t need a land line anymore. All they had to do was to connect to the internet using their mobile and they get the same level of connection as how you would get from a land line modem. In Palm’s language users call it the Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi Plus.
This device enables the user to surf through the net using his or her mobile phone, using Verizon Wireless 3G connection. Of course, monthly dues are also paid. Officially, Verizon Wireless announced that Palm Pre Plus will be paid with $149.99 and the Palm Pixi with a $99.99. Prices for both were taken after a $100 mail-in rebate with a 2 year customer agreement.
In addition, Verizon has also given an additional charge that makes for every 5GB data and 3G based Wi-Fi connectivity, will cost $40. The charge is levied on top of the calling and data plan. If a Wi-Fi mobile hotspot activates a Pre Plus on a 450 minutes call and text plan, it will eventually cost the user $129.99 per month ( which is $59.99 for the calling plan and $29.99 for the email and web data plan, along with the $40 Wi-Fi feature).
Talk about handy-dandy! Most people today are looking for more portable ways to use their mobile phones and at the same time surf the net! There have been countless innovations in this niche, but none of them have seemed to satisfy the thirst of users to get the full blow by blow action form the connection they get. Yes, I’m talking about some mobile network connections which could not even get a decent connectivity speed.
Now, what has Palm have in store for this kind of problem? The company has launched countless gadgets which help their users with their needs, and Palm is not about to stop there! Recently, Palm introduced the Palm Pixi Plus, this little sister of the Palm Pre Plus, is smaller compared to the latter. And it functions a bit differently too.
One thing common in both, is that they get their 3G connection from Verizon Wireless. Palm Pixi Plus is very much handy, it is also affordable to many and demonstrates high-end features like that of a Wi-Fi multi-touch. Along with this comes a full web browser, GPS and the ability to convert itself into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Can’t get anything better than that!
This is often referred to as a cuddly, cute, an entry level and a tiny screen smartphone which can be easily accessorized with designer and colorful clovers. It has a neat webOS operating system and can pull together the use of email and calendar entries. The media player works fine with Bluetooth headphones. All in all it’s a little devil which you can easily pocket!
Laptops have been known to be portable versions of a desktop computer. It is designed to be smaller, handier to carry around, in order for users to do their work without the hassle of doing it on a heavy and electricity based desktop computer. Another thing why laptops have become popular is because they are battery-powered.
Since this has become a fad, companies thought of new ways to go with the demands of the users when it comes to battery life of the laptop or netbook (which has also become undeniably popular nowadays). However, this is how it goes today; HP has formulated a solution for this growing concern.
This solution is in form of the HP Mini 1100 Battery. So what is it exactly? This is actually an update of HP 2133 Mini-Note PC, which was launched in April. Digging in deeper into this, HP has replaced the 1.2-GHz VIA C7-M ULV Mini-Note with a 1.6-GHz Intel Atom N270 chip. Along with that the company has also lowered the starting price of $ 100 to $ 399. The new system is going to be available starting Wednesday, so you won’t have to wait long.
According to HP they have been studying the fundamental laws of nature and physics, to which the company is trying to apply in terms of engineering development of better laptop batteries with improved performance. Prices range from ￡ 609 for the TravelMate 8571, ￡ 599 for 8471, and ￡ 579 for 8371, all which comes with 3 GB of memory and a 250GB hard drive. In the near future, 3G wireless availability is also an option for the near future.
Palm has never failed its users when it comes to creative innovations and state of the art technology. The company has offered its users hi end and impressive devices which are not only in style but are also functional and easy to use! No wonder users just can’t help but love them for what they do.
As of today The Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus made their official debut, as they are unveiled to the users with support from Verizon’s 3G wireless network. Mind you, Verizon Wireless is only the largest US mobile carrier, and if you’re not even aware of this until now, then now you know where you’ll be getting your internet connection once you’re already using the The Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus.
The Palm mobile hotspot can be used from the application catalog of the mobiles, which will be on sale later of this month. This turns your mobile into a router itself and can be able to connect up to five devices at a single time. Your mobile is now a MiFi-style instant Wi-Fi hotspot.
This Wi-Fi tying feature is pretty much easy to set up. It works compatibly and so much well with Verizon’s 3G-enable EVDO Rev. If you’re wondering what network the latter is, then, it is a network, which could enable you to wirelessly connect a laptop and an iPod Touch at the same Time! What great is that download time is reasonable and how flexible the actual router is.
Palm has surprised us early this year when it had introduced its new products at CES. However, the innovative magicians still have tricks up on their sleeves. Not later on the company introduced their very own line of mobile wireless applications, this in the guise of the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus
With these applications installed into your mobile, you can immediately use 3G wireless connection. This means that Palm is extending its reach over to mobile wireless connections. Now you wouldn’t have to go to hotspots in order to connect online, since you already have both devices from Palm. These are actually applications which you can easily install in your mobile and then viola! Internet connectivity is a piece of cake!
The Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, is ale to connect to the wireless network offered by Verizon. In turn your mobile can connect up to five Wi-Fi able devices. Take your pick! You can choose to use your MP4, iPod, or even your smartphones! What’s important is that you have the application installed on your mobile. Neat as it may seem, just imagine, you could make your very own mobile, become a MiFi router! Can anything get better than that? I don’t think so,
Verizon has placed charges of $40 a month for the 3G connection fee. It won’t be pretty bad, especially if you know that you need the connection. It is very much handy and practical to use especially for you dudes who are always on the go!
When it comes to the Mobile Wireless connectivity, a lot of names of big companies suddenly pop up into your mind, the competition is tough and challenging, yet it is creative and full of innovation. Palm has been in this business for a long period of time enough to establish their own name in the industry. Now, who wouldn’t know what Palm is? They have offered the public various gadgets which function in a multi tasking way, just to suit everyone’s convenience.
Earlier this month, Palm has not failed its users. They have introduced yet another brand of innovation to hit the market this year at CES. Palm convincingly offered the Pixi Plus and Pre Plus. Complete with the product launching, Palm did not waste time and explained the full potential of the new device, from its names to their specs and even all the way down to the carrier handsets.
When everyone thought that it was all Palm had to introduce, what surprised them is that Palm still has another trick up on its sleeve. Make way for the Mobile HotSpot applications. This functions in mobile handsets, enabling users to easily use the application with just one flick of a finger.
This application makes the Pre Plus or even the Pixi Plus turn into an instant WiFi router which can enable up to 5 users to use a single connection simultaneously. Where does Palm’s mobile wireless hotspot connect to? The users will have the Verizon's 3G network to depend on. Palm is yet full of surprises and will never stop giving its full service to users like you.
Palm has been known to have a great comeback at the CES2010, by reviving and giving additional life to their business in the past year with their introduction of the Palm Pre. A more augmented update is now in store for potential users. This means that there is a percent increase in the performance of the newest innovation that Palm will be offering to the users.
Along with the new offer, the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus both headed to Verizon Wireless’ network for their Wi-Fi connectivity measures. Palm Pre has undergone the SlashGear test bench. Palm is careful not to disappoint their potential customers by offering products which have been fully checked and are ready to go.
This new Palm mobile hotspot application will be available in the App Catalog, which makes the application functional for Verizon Wireless users. In order to connect to the internet fully, the user will need a suitable 3G Mobile Hotspot add-on to the users’ data plan. Application use costs $40 for 5GB with a $29.99 regular “unlimited” data plan for a total of $69.99.
In summary, it works just as a MiFi would. Once you set up an initial SSID and password, opening the app will share the 3G EVDO Rev. When the user has this done, then a list of all the connected clients will be shown on the phone, which in turn supports up to five are supported at a single time. Since the Pre Plus supports multitasking the user can continue to use other apps while mobile hotspot is still running.
