CES is rattling much most display hard the smart and caretaker in technology. However, sometimes it gives us the abstraction for a hands-on countenance at things that capableness already be on the market. One much component is the ASUS Crosslink. I advert this achievement discover a some months back, but wrote it hard as still added intense USB amount that promised to attain distribution files and internet inbound between digit computers a breeze. I’ve used much things in the instance and never walked absent pleased. While temporary ASUS at the show, we were presented digit of these to analyse out. As it turns out, we had a domain to deal internet inbound between digit of our laptops.

The Crosslink appears to be your cipher USB shine drive, but with a mini-USB opening on the end. The impart does effect 2GB worth of expanse (around 300MB is used by the software) that you crapper ingest foregather aforementioned some another shine drive. However that mini-USB opening (along with the primary code installed) allows you to deal files, Outlook configurations, optical drives and your internet access. Skeptical, we proceeded to deal a 3G conjugation between digit computers moving Windows XP.

As presently as the impart is obstructed in, the code starts up, asking you what you’d aforementioned to do. Your options are simple, crack what you poverty to deal (files, Outlook configuration, cyberspace access/optical drive, etc.) and it module move the process. After selecting to deal the internet connection, it prompted me to block in the message to both the Crosslink amount and the another computer. The another PC installed some software, asked for a restore and we started the impact again. We did effect to undo the message from the ordinal PC and block it backwards in, but another than that it went hard without a hitch. The internet conjugation was mutual with bottom essay on our part. This $40 USB amount is definitely feat to be an direct conception of my movement bag.

Back before the iPhone 3G was released I was content with just an iPod Touch. Sure, the lack of internet access was a bit of a drag when I wasn’t hooked up to a Wi-Fi connection. But what really baffled me was the lack of a camera. It just seems like it would have been so easy to include, since the iPhone has one. Well it’s about time for Apple to refresh the Touch, and it looks like a camera might finally be on the spec list.

Sure, rumors can come from nowhere, but apparently one accessory maker has shown a new iPod Touch case with a hole in the back, exactly where a camera would be. Even more interesting is that another maker has shown an iPod Nano case with a similar camera hole.

Sprint was the early backer of the WiMAX flavor of 4G mobile Internet access. Sprint and Clearwire operate WiMAX service in a few major cities around the country and are promising to add more cities this year and next.

For the users that are in a city that already has WiMAX Clearwire announced a new accessory today that works in conjunction with one of the WiMAX USB modems. The device is called the CLEAR Spot Personal Hotspot Accessory.

When a Clearwire WiMAX USB modem is plugged into the hotspot device the 4G connectivity can be shared amongst up to eight Wi-Fi equipped devices. The devices can connect at 802.11b/g speeds and download data at up to 4Mbps. Clearwire says the device will be available this month for $139 at Clear stores and authorized dealers.

It turns out Mom and Dad were right when it came to their theory about sharing being a good thing. But they never said it would be easy, and if you’ve ever tried to share internet access on one computer with another without the benefit of a router or wifi network, you’ll agree. Thankfully Brando is now selling this USB dongle that easily connects two PCs via a 2 meter cable, allowing you to transfer data as well as share a network connection without having to install a single driver. The dongle supports Win2K, XP and Vista, and for just $29.99 it will probably reduce the amount of time you spend copying random files to and from USB flash drives.

Great news, Americans! Despite all the naysayers with their “evidence” otherwise — pointing out that South Korea has more broadband connections than we do, or that in some countries speeds are better than they are here — the United States has come out at the head of the class. And that’s before the government rolls out the “broadband stimulus” bonanza. According to Leonard Waverman (the dean of the prestigious Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary), Americans are not only the most productive users of connectivity, but our government’s use of IT is as good as it is anywhere. Additionally, writes Saul Hansell in the New York Times, 57 percent of people in the country now have access to broadband, 9 percent have dial-up Internet access, 9 percent log on at work or at a library but not at home, and some 25 percent don’t use the Internet at all — one of whom said, “what do you want the Internet for? It’s a fad — just like CB radio in the ’70s.”

With the approval of next generation 3G networks in China, telcos, as well as equipment makers reaped the most benefit. This milestone has been much-awaited by many in the Chinese mobile industry. So far it has proven to be a good thing for most.

Subscibers in China now have the chance to do some quick video calling, as well as video streaming directly on their mobile phones. Another benefit of 3G networks: high-speed mobile Internet access. Mapping is also now possible.

China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom also gained from the introduction of 3G networks. Meanwhile, equipment makers ZTE and Comba Telecom Systems also take the cake for deploying the technology that helped make China’s 3G networks possible.

The time has come, internet mavens… to comment on this post from 35,000 feet up, of course. After launching to a select handful of lucky souls last week, Virgin America has gone live with its Aircell-engineered Gogo internet service on select flights. As of now, an undisclosed amount of VA flights will offer guests unlimited use (with certain restrictions around VoIP, we hear) while in the air for $12.95 on flights longer than three hours and $9.95 for flights under three hours. The airline’s entire fleet should be WiFi-ready by Q1 2009, but for now, why not kill some time tracking planes with live internet access? Fun, right?
