Quick snippets... OLPC coming to UK, Dell Minis exclusive to Voda

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:52:49 +0100

Amazon will soon be selling the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) in the EMEA territories - this should include the UK. The OLPC, from what I've seen of it (I'm probably one of the lucky few in the UK that have seen one in the flesh!) is a fantastic m...

Problems with 3 UK's internet on your mobile? Turn 3.5G off!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:43:56 +0100

This is 'work in progress' and I'm still not 100% sure this actually works - so far it seems to but anyhoo... I have lots of problems with streaming audio via the internet connection on my phone (an N95 8GB) and the loaner from WOM World (Nokia 6...

3, define your dongles!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:51:25 +0100

Got one of these...? Running with this little (or not so little) guy...? And want one of these to work...? Make sure you do your homework as not all dongles (as the mobile modems are often known as) are created equal. The one above won't w...

Spreading the 3G love via WiFi

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:11:12 +0100

UK mobile operator 3 are looking at spreading the HSDPA (3.5G) love all around your home with a special wireless router. I like this idea, I like this idea a lot. Right now I'm on 3's mobile broadband in an abode that doesn't have ADSL or cable....

Boost your mobile broadband with 'Blu-Hack'

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:06:52 +0100

I've been using 3's Mobile Broadband extensively since Saturday. As a trialist I can use it as much as I want, it's truly unlimited! In the real world, 3 offer packages of 1GB, 3GB and 7GB (Lite, Plus and Max respectively) - unlike their handset...

Uploading a 50 meg video via mobile broadband... possibly not a good idea!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Mon, 12 May 2008 16:54:21 +0100

Currently trying to upload a quicktime video that's a tad under 50 meg to Vox. It's taking a while, and I'm in a HSDPA area (in the garden, with me dongle high up in the air and sitting within spitting distance of the network's nearest mast)! Th...

French carrier SFR gets it! Eee PC and 3G, match made in heaven!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:03:18 +0000

This is something that seemed a pretty obvious pairing - an ultraportable laptop and an attractive 3G data plan (and HSDPA modem) bundled together. SFR appears to be the first operator off the blocks to offer such a deal. Click on one of these ...

WiFi vs 3G: On the road at 70mph

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 14:06:18 +0000

Practically all laptops these days have wireless LAN (aka WiFi) built-in as standard. It makes sense as an ever increasingly amount of households have WiFi at home and hotspots are popping as quickly as new Starbucks (which is, incidentally, wher...
