The word is that AT&T “is working on a new service that would let Apple iPhone owners use their devices as a modem for their laptop computers.” And of course, there will be a charge for this functionality, which of course is doable on other phones, running on other service providers’ networks.

It’s a combo that makes so much sense, I wonder if some other prominent examples have escaped the gadgenista’s notice. Basically, the Philips Luxe is an MP3 player… and a Bluetooth headset!

Laptop
The veritable nexus of any geek’s world, the laptop lets them compute anywhere—so long as there’s a plug within an hour or two’s reach. Laptops allow […]

I say workable, because even if it takes some time to get used to the QWERTY keyboard of the Nokia E71, it’s still decent enough to allow the input of an appreciable amount of text quickly. This very post was composed on the said smartphone.
The E71’s keypad features rounded and slightly raised buttons that are […]

On a recent trip to Singapore, I kept a watchful eye for a Bluetooth mouse. Eventually I settled on a black Razer Pro|Click Mobile, which was buried in a bargain bin.

The Sennheiser VMX Office is basically a base station with a wireless headset, with the promise of consolidating voice traffic from the PC, landline, and any Bluetooth-capable cell phone.

Sure, HP managed to squeeze out 24 hours of battery life from one of their laptops. But we all know how possible that is in real-world conditions.

For better or worse, Nokia is still the king of cell phones. The Finns’ stranglehold on the perfect balance of reponsiveness, portability and functionality continues, despite the assault of hype-driven competitors like (sigh) the iPhone 3G. Hard to believe? Just look at the sales figures for Q2 2008.
Anyways, one company that should take a cue […]
