R42 New Tech - Dell XPS1730 aka "The Beast" - Part 1 "Procuring"

Now we're talking

Not piddly GPRS 2.5G, not 3G, not even HSDPA (or HSUPA) Next/3.5G - no, we're talking true blue 4G Networks. Nothing yet, but the initial agreement with partners (Nokia, SonyEricsson and Alcatel to be precise) to get things off the ground. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7348706.stm

An amazing week for Mobility

Well, when they said the announcements at Mix08 would blow us away, they weren't wrong.... I'm excited about all of the mobility announcements. It's clear that the Internet, Social Networking, and Gen "C" is combining and extending to the most
