[Cyrus’ Weblog] we don’t have the best wireless coverage in Turkey but most universities have wifi on campus, we also have Starbucks and Gloria Jeans, Schlotzky’s Deli cafés with wifi coverage, I heard about McDonalds restaurants were implementing wifi and every company on the block I work has wifi. Personally I have access to wifi almost everywhere I go in this city and you don’t think more than 10 million people with frequent access to wifi is NOT adequate for publishing an internet tablet in their own language...

[The Cynosural Blog] Perfect Handheld? Not Yet: and software and storage to do it all, the headset, the various connectivity capabilities, and Bluetooth tying it all together, I wouldn't need or want a "cell phone" per se. With what's available right now, it really is hard to put together a working system - and of course, coverage in CDMA, GSM or 802.11[whatever] is spotty at best, though iPass does have a good solution for worldwide accounts.

http://blogs.chron.com/techblog [TechBlog] Hey, Gary: This tablet's for you: It will connect via WiFi and use Linux tablet software. It will come with a Web browser, e-mail, voice-over-IP telephony, Internet radio, a PDF viewer, a media player and a slew of other applications. The device will be 5.5 inches wide by 3 inches deep -- about the size of an index card -- and 3/4ths of an inch thick.

Engadget.com[Engadget.com] Nokia 770 internet tablet sees Nokia veer into non-phone territory ...: I personally have used my old ROM hacked Mobilepro 780 much as this thing sounds like it's to be used. With a simple $11 wifi PCMCIA card it becomes a little internet appliance that roams effortlessly about the house, far more easily than a laptop would (not to mention 5 - 6 hours battery life). It makes looking things up on the internet while watching TV in one of the NON computered rooms, or when chillin' with friends/family in the living room or out on one of the decks, or when working on the car/project in the garage a snap.

Our customers are our friends/peers/neighbors, and though people walk in with a lot of sociological baggage when a cash register enters the picture, the sustainability of Victrola as a business is as much dependant on it being a low-bullshit atmosphere as it is on whether or not you buy a macaroon with your espresso.”

http://chinthanaigal.blogspot.com [Chinthanaigal.blogspot.com] Thoughts: May 2005: In between the session a Macromedia representative was giving us a presentation on future of the Flash in Mobile phones. It seemed to me as NOKIA officials and the macromedia officials contradicts each other in the way they look at the future of the Mobile business. Nokia was projecting the handset sales will be raising like any thing in the coming 2 years, whereas Macromedia looks at the business in some other way. According to macromedia the the mobile market has been saturated and the only thing remaining is the content market.
