Kent.1X Rel 0 seems slow to this guy. Well, It is better suited to phones and PDA's than laptops. To run a laptop, they really need Rel A which doubles the max data rates from 150K to 300K. Presumably the working data rates will double from 30-40K to 60-80K which will help a lot. I have run my lap top on 95A and it seems very slow -- but much better than nothing at all. Some areas that had Metricom got a taste of high speed wireless for laptops.

Using 1X to run a phone's smaller screen should work much better than to run a 14 inch laptop screen.
