Vonage Phones in Hot WiFi Plans
(washingtonpost.com) 01/05/2005 01:36 PM
washingtonpost.com - Upstart Internet telephone company Vonage made its mark on telecom in 2004 and isn't backing down in 2005. The company this week said it will make chatting on the go even easier for consumers with WiFi technology, a move that could spook traditional mobile phone carriers in the same way as Internet phones are doing to the local Baby Bells.

Vonage Offers Wi-Fi Phone

Vonage Offers Wi-Fi Phone 01/04/2005 12:45 AM
Engadget slips the news that Vonage ships its F-1000 Wi-Fi handset: The handset will work over hotspot networks allowing Vonage customers to use their service while roaming. Boingo and Vonage had a deal in place to test out VoIP over Wi-Fi hotspots, but it's unclear here in the late evening how that ties together. Also, Vonage's site doesn't yet list the announcement, so we don't know if they've partnered with various networks to ease authentication. Authentication, or providing credentials that let you use a given hotspot network--whether a paid login or a WPA encryption key or handling 802.1X, even--is the biggest stopping block in allowing VoIP over hotspot to work. A technology like EAP-SIM, which would use a GSM SIM module to authenticate, might be one method of logging in. But it requires every hotspot or hotspot network that wants to allow this sort of connection to build the back-end to handle it....

Broadband telephone company Vonage is expected to announce plans Tuesday for a Wi-Fi phone that could make calls through a customer's wireless home network or at wireless hotspots, USA Today reported Tuesday. Vonage says it would work like a cell phone, but would not cost the subscriber any additional fees to use the service.

Vonage UTStarcom F1000 VoIP Phone 01/04/2005 01:43 PM

Vonage is dropping some killer gear on us today, with product announcements that include this new Wi-Fi Voice-Over-IP handset from UTStarcom that will let Vonage subscribers make calls anywhere they can log onto a Wi-Fi connection. With an 80-hour standby time and three to four hour talk time, the F1000 looks practical enough to use as your primary phone, not to mention extremely handy to have around as a secondary communications sidearm. Plus, you're sort of getting a Wi-Fi location device for free.

The UTStarcom F1000 is a standard SIP phone, as well, meaning it can be used with other Voice-Over-IP platforms besides Vonage.

Fujitsu's WiFi Cell Phone 06/24/2004 09:47 AM

I couldn't get the fish to give me a good translation on this page, but I think we can get the gist. A new phone from Fujitsu, running Windows CE .NET (and possible a Linux version?), CF slot, and (here's the good stuff) 802.11b. So the question is, how long before someone writes a program that will capture dialed cellular numbers then switch live calls over to WiFi whenever the phone can find an open access point?

Cory Doctorow: A Seattle wireless hacker rides a commuter train from Tacoma every day with a battery-powered WiFi hotspot in his backpack that's linked up to the Internet with a 14.4 144k wireless modem. Catch his train and get free WiFi on your commute.

The open wireless node can be found in the first car of the last morning train and in Car 403 on the 5:10pm return trip. Use SSID "FreeInternetAccess" or "seattlewireless" to connect - You may have to assign yourself an IP in the range 192.168.0.0/24 and use the Default Gateway 192.168.0.1 as the DHCP is sometimes flakey

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy 07/16/2004 04:50 PM
A few weeks ago I got Chrisalis Developemnt's WiFi Seeker, a convenient keychain-sized wireless network locator. Marware's recently announced WiFi Spy is a rebranded version of the same device, so it should perform identically.

To locate a wireless network simply press the button and watch the LEDs. When the lights stop sweeping back and forth, the number that remain lit will show the strength of the wireless signal. If the lights continue to sweep back and forth, you're not in range for any wireless network. Unlike other devices, the WiFi Seeker isn't fooled by other 2.5 GHz signals like microwave ovens or cordless phones, and it doesn't depend on 802.11 client activity to detect the access point. It detects both 802.11b and 802.11g.

Toshiba First to Produce Speedy XDR RAM

Toshiba First to Produce Speedy XDR RAM 03/30/2005 09:10 AM

XDR RAM is going to be fast. I predict even more unneeded processor cycles in my near future.

Toshiba is lining up the world's fasters memory chips. Testing has begun and they should be on sale in the second half the year, the company said. The 512MB XDR (extreme data rate) DRAM chips run at 4.8GHz - about 12 times faster than typical desktop PC memory.

Even better, Samsung and Elpida are on route to deliver the new chips in around the same time-frame—just in time for use in the Playstation 3, in fact. (Thanks, Luke!)

Hitachi to produce 1 TB drives

Hitachi to produce 1 TB drives 04/04/2005 11:36 AM
Hitachi on Monday is set to announce it will release hard drives containing 230 gigabits of data per square inch by 2007, making a 1-inch 20 GB microdrive, allowing for a 20 GB iPod mini. According to senior vice president of product strategy and marketing at Hitachi Bill Healy, the density breakthrough represents a refinement in perpendicular recording. Hard drives currently store data in a longitudinally, with the heads scanning over a horizontal plane. For perpendicular recording, data bits are aligned vertically, allowing for more data to be placed into an area. "We're redesigning the head and disc quite significantly," Healy told CNET. "All we have done is longitudinal recording in hard drives since the 1950s. We've got a babysitting program running in the back to see how the hard drives are doing. We are building up our understanding of our quality and reliability."

How Much Data Do We Produce? And How
Much Is Spam? 07/27/2004 12:38 PM
A new study from a data storage company (watch the bias) says that we're all creating more data more rapidly thanks to ever growing hard drives. There's no indication how they worked this out, but they do seem to attribute quite a bit of that data growth to spam. There's one weird bit, suggesting that by 2007 the average email will include a 650 kb attachment. Now, certainly that would increase the amount of data being sent around, but they give absolutely no basis for stating such a thing. Maybe they're just counting virus spam and all the mess it causes, but it would seem that a claim that every email will soon be pushing that much data around should be supported by a bit more of an explanation.
