Apple Makes It Official: iPhone 3G
At today's WWDC 2008 in San Francisco, Apple made it official. They announced the new iPhone 3G which will be available July 11th. It is now thinner, lighter, faster, and less expensive. It now has 3G for faster online access, GPS, much improved audio quality, version 2.0 of the operating system allowing 3rd party applications, half the price, and now available in black and white.

Cradlepoint Personal Hot Spot via EVDO/HSDPA (3G)
Today I
received the new Cradlepoint
PHS-300 I ordered. This is a
phenominal device. It is a personal WiFi
router that allows you to plug in your EVDO or
HDSPA (3G) broadband USB modem into it and then
share that connection with up to 16 WiFi devices.
You can also use your cell phone as a
tethered modem to provide the 3G connectivity.
You can connect to the WiFi with either
802.11b or 802.11g and includes a complete NAT
with SPI firewall. It features 64/128 bit
WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption and
supports all operating systems and PDAs with WiFi
support. It also includes a Lithium-Ion
battery for up to 3 hours of use (ships with an AC
adapter but you can also purchase a car-adapter to
charge it as well). I use it to
connect my MacBook
Pro and iPhone on the road
allowing me to utilize the faster 3G network with
the iPhone. The best of all
worlds.
