How fast is a 3G wireless laptop card?

May 11, 2009 by CBD | Posted in Laptops & Notebooks

I can not DSL or cable internet where I live and the satellite is too expensive. But I can get a 3G wireless card with AT & T for my laptop. But how fast will they really? I have dial-up right now, so anything would probably be an improvement, but how does it compare to DSL and cable Internet?

Download speeds of 700 Kbps-1.7 Mbps
The typical download speeds of 500 Kbps-1.2 Mbps

From a blurb ATT.
Keep your (tongue in cheek) I have not seen the speed of their network. This is the best possible speed, not the typical.

How can i turn my laptop wireless card into an access point for my nintendo ds?

Feb 06, 2009 by Toby T | Posted in Video & Online Games

I want to use my wireless card on my laptop as a access point for my nintendo ds. is this possible?

You cannot directly use your internal wireless card to do this task. Many have tried, and very few have succeeded, but the steps they take are immensely complicated. However, nintendo makes a product called the Nintendo wi-fi usb connector, and it is specifically made to turn your computer into a wireless connection for your DS. here's a link to the product and a tutorial.

Search for it on ebay and you'll find some even cheaper. It's really a bargain at only $20 with free shipping on ebay.

Sprint Unveils Motorola Photon 4G, Triumph Android Smartphones

09.06.11

NEW YORK — Sprint (NYSE:S) and Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI) June 9 teamed up to unveil the Motorola Photon 4G and Motorola Triumph smartphones based on Google's Android operating system.

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse and Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha appeared on stage at an event here to unveil the Android 2.3 "Gingerbread"-based Photon 4G and the Triumph, a prepaid handset that runs Android 2.2 "Froyo."

No pricing was available for these handsets, which are scheduled to launch this summer.

Like the Motorola Atrix 4G on AT&T, the Photon 4G is powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2, dual-core 1GHz processor. The 5.6-ounce device, which is 5 inches long, 2.6 inches wide and half an inch thick, also features a 4.3-inch quarter high-definition screen.

The Tegra 2 chip led Hesse to proclaim the device a "multimedia powerhouse," whose speedy Web browsing and rich graphics make it "perfectly suited for gaming and video."
