David Pogue posted in his New York Times blog about Internet on the go technology. I was glad to see that review, I recently just came back from a business trip in New York City and realized not every city is completely wired like many of the cafes in Silicon Valley. Buying a wireless internet card is a great option to enable internet access from any location covered within the plan. His recommendation was the Sierra/Sprint Wireless Compass 597.
Some other options are the Verizon Wireless Broadband Access card and the AT&T Laptop Connect. Because I spend most of my time in Silicon Valley, for now I will keep hanging out at the Silicon Valley Wi-Fi friendly cafes and businesses like Crayons and Cubes or Starbucks.
I too just recently got back from NYC and the two things I noticed were:
- wifi is limited
- few people using Macs
Maybe it’s the company I was keeping (bankers) or the places that I was going (into tall buildings), but it was very different than here in Silicon Valley.
lol. I, too am a fan of David Pogue. Im glad with the rise of online video he has an audience now to sing his wonderful technology songs too. I remember Google in Company C (or something like that)
