The digital cameras on telephones are not just point-and-shoot numbers these days, and the VX6000 from LG is a case in point: it comes with zoom control and three different picture resolutions. Chatty shutterbugs can also add color and special effects to their photos and then e-mail them by way of a picture-messaging service recently started by Verizon Wireless.

Alan Reiter writes about Brazilian Wi-Fi heating up: Alan spent some time in Brazil, and learned how ready the market was to pop. It's starting to sizzle: a leading ISP plans 300 locations. American aggregators Boingo Wireless, GRIC, and iPass are already branding the scene. The cost is under $20 per month for month-to-month or yearly commitment. An interesting point is that the first 40-odd locations include 20 airports, which is almost as many airports as have any reasonable access in the U.S., excluding lounges....

Hospital chain implemented secure wireless networking: 10 percent of doctors use it: Last year, Partners Healthcare System, a hospital operator, added wireless access to its patient systems. Today, 10 percent of doctors use the secure system to access information as they roam. Doctors can immediately place pharmacy orders, among other features. I continue to hear that hospitals need wireless networks (with robust security) more than practically any other operation.

T-Mobile says in this article that they'll equip 100s of petrol stations in the UK with Wi-Fi hot spots. They have 56 hot spots in the UK already. For a certain kind of business user, this is ideal, and it's part of what I think is the McDonald's model: pull up, transmit and receive for 10 to 15 minutes, and drive off....
