DELL and MCOM ? "Once you've used it, you don't want anything else. With broadband wireless, a notebook is truly portable." - Michael Dell from news.cnet.com Also from the same article: << ... So serious is Dell about wireless that on Monday he created a new wireless group that reports directly to him. Moe Grzelakowski, a former Motorola executive, is heading it. ... ... But with the wireless speeds topping out at 14.4 kbps in most areas, performance is inadequate for most portable users. Dell believes broadband wireless access may be the answer for portable users, as well as for consumers and small businesses craving high-speed Internet access. Broadband wireless providers such as Metricom are ramping up speeds to 128 kbps. In July, Metricom will launch 128-kbps wireless services in Atlanta and San Diego in advance of a 21-market launch later this summer. While Dell wouldn't disclose his company's partners in the wireless venture, he said the PC maker is testing broadband wireless at its headquarters in Round Rock, Texas. ... The new DELL notebooks are slated for rollout in September. >> (thanks to DasBobo on yahoo for reminding of this article: messages.yahoo.com )
