New toy: Sprint 3G/4G MiFi « Sean Percival

Just when the users thought they haven’t have had enough of the palm pre and pixi, here comes another wave hurling at them! This includes a more stylish look and more functional services which will surely surpass those offered by earlier versions.

For a closer description of the changes, both phones still have that sleek design which users appreciate. The easy to use and attractive WebOS software which Palm’s phones offer have also been given new features which will excite the users more. This is the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot feature. This enables the phone to connect t the internet via Verizon wireless. Of course Verizon has already given its charges and has cooperated with Palm regarding this matter.

The Wi-Fi capability can connect up to five Wi-Fi able devices. Users may feel a bit uncomfortable by the pricing, but the strong connection will still serve them well. Much better coverage than the slow connection other mobile hot spots offer.

When taking a closer look at it the Pre has the greater benefit with the changes. There is the sudden absence of the white button used for expanding open applications or viewing the applications just like what you can do in your computer. Then again, it is replaced by a glowing, touch-sensitive white dash, which makes it safer and uninterrupted while you are using the mobile.

Pre’s keyboard is smoother as compared to the sticky former version. This makes it easier for viewers to type instant message and emails on the keypads. What’s cool is that both phones are able to download from Palm Application’s catalog. This probably is the strongest asset of Palm’s Pre and Pixi as compared to their competitors.

In this industry, in order to become successful a company must be able to hold its ground and stand still amid the growing number of competitions. And that’s exactly what Apple is trying to do, with much success. The company has established such a reputation which in turn earns them a great number of loyal users.

Now, with the introduction of the iPad, Apple aims to gather more users and definitely keep their old ones eager for more. With the use of the iPad, it will be able to increase the asset value of fixed-line operators like the BT Group, which has 4,000 Openzone hotspots and 500,000 BT FON hotspots which can be found in UK. Since iPad will enable Wi-Fi usage, additional investment in the latter will be possible, titling the competitive balance back to fixed.

In a broader sense, a good urban Wi-Fi network which is tossed for free along with a fixed network rental, debates on whether this will fish out substitutional or additional telecom spend could start. Apple’s iPad will stir up old and new types of investments when it comes to Wi-Fi and Mifi technology. This will in turn give users more option and security whenever they connect to a network.

If you’re wondering what we’re talking about exactly, then you need not wait longer to know: its Apple’s iPad! This device will give a chance for urban Wi-Fi networks to penetrate the iPad’s system, thus enabling networks another charter of life, this will in turn persuade investment in the area.

The iPad costs $499 for Wi-Fi only, being cheapest, in regards to its size and ease of use. This device will surely be ideal for home and mobile office use. It will be pretty easy for users to connect to the internet since Wi-Fi is quickly being available in most workplaces. Either in your office or in city centers; take your pick! The iPad can surely connect you to the network with just a flick of a finger!

When there is Wi-Fi, surely MiFi isn’t too far away to reach. Whenever there is no Wi-Fi hotspot available, the user can also make use of the MiFi to stay connected. In case you’re also wondering how a MiFi works, it’s a wireless modem which works as a go-between a device and the network. It connects the Wi-Fi from the iPad to the cellular network. This is very much an ideal-fill in technology for users out there.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 4G WiMAX 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.

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.
