...browser and other connected applications also run smoothly thanks to access to Cingular?s EDGE network. Stepping up from the older GPRS data networks, this BlackBerry?s data line sees download speeds of up to about 120 Kbps. It?s not as fast as Wi-Fi or the soon-to-be announced UMTS HSDPA network from Cingular, nor is it as speedy as the new networks from Sprint and Verizon Wireless. However, RIM?s co-CEO Mike Lazaridis pointed out to me that EDGE is plenty good for general BlackBerry activities, and I have been unable to prove him wrong...

...Solar wi-fi is ideal for regions where electricity is scarce--from archaeological digs to disaster scenes, says Sally Lyon, co-founder of Boulder-based Lumin Innovative Products, which invented the system. Fellow founder and former Air Force engineer Ben Adams, who hatched the idea three years ago as he lugged a generator through the Nevada desert to hook up a communications system, is negotiating this month with U.S. and Australian forces to market solar wi-fi in Iraq. Each solar-paneled access point can relay wireless signals as far as 25 miles to other stations and can connect...
