Re: BTW, I know ... I can do that now if I install a wireless card. Someone should tell Craig... It's hard to buy anything but a low end notebook that doesn't have built-in wireless networking. He sounds a little like G.B. senior marvelling at the scanners in the grocery stores.

Why is Intel so weak today? I hope it's not heading for single digits.

I think the announcement today, was rather meant to coordinate with this announcement from ms: Microsoft, AT&T pitch wireless e-mail By Richard Shim Special to ZDNet News October 8, 2002, 10:08 AM PT Microsoft and AT&T Wireless are looking to meet the needs of large businesses that are arming their employees with wireless products. The companies on Tuesday announced AT&T Wireless Workware, a suite of software and services designed to give corporate workers wireless access to e-mail and data that reside behind corporate firewalls. The suite can be used on a variety of devices, from notebooks to handhelds. As expected, the companies also announced a new handheld device, the Siemens SX56, which uses Microsoft's Pocket PC Phone Edition operating system and offers access to GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) voice and data wireless networks. The companies also said that HP Services is the preferred partner to integrate the suite into a business's existing network. The two companies struck a deal in July to get Microsoft software onto new devices and to simplify access to corporate information over wireless systems. At the time, the two companies were in the late stages of product development and were said to be ready to deliver devices using Microsoft's Pocket PC Phone Edition software in the fourth quarter. The deal is part of Microsoft's ongoing effort to sell big businesses on its wireless software and operating systems. The Redmond, Wash.-based company is also using its position as the dominant maker of software for desktop PCs and servers to reassure companies that using Microsoft wireless software for handheld devices will make for an easier implementation than the software of its rivals because companies are already familiar with Microsoft software. Microsoft is laying the groundwork for widespread takeup of devices using its software with agreements like the one with AT&T, according to Microsoft spokesman Ed Suwanjindar. "The significance of this program is to deploy devices en masse," said Suwanjindar. "We want to extend our framework to make it easier and more cost-effective to use our software." AT&T Wireless will sell the Siemens device directly to corporations, but also to consumers and small businesses through retail stores. The device will sell for $549.99 with a mail-in rebate. AT&T Wireless has said in the past that is working to bring to market a device using Microsoft's Smartphone 2002 operating system by the middle of next year. Microsoft is also working with Verizon Wireless, VoiceStream, Sprint PCS, mm02 and Vodafone to bring its software to wireless devices.

I have no axe to grind on rambus, it seems to be the current leader, but: from the inq: 213.219.40.69 DCDDRRAM OK! Granite Bay Spotted By Charlie Digweed: Thursday 10 October 2002, 14:06 Nearly a month before Intel are scheduled to announce their double channel double data rate chipset ‘Granite Bay’, benchmarks of beta silicon have appeared. After publishing his benchmark results of the chipset in an article which was later retracted on request of a vendor, Kyle ‘FrgMstr’ Bennett, Webmaster of [H]ardOCP snuck scores onto the website forums here for all to see. While the test unit is still definitely pre-production, running on very early drivers, the scores for the platform given by Bennett are extremely impressive, bettering any existing RAMBUS or DDR configuration we've seen. The numbers are so high in fact that they’re getting on for 30% above the scores seen from top-end 32-bit PC1066 systems, which makes us wonder how much longer Intel will recommend RAMBUS for the top-tier, once the new chipset sees light of day.
