I am a huge WiFi fan and look for hotspots in all the cities I visit. Finally had to break down and buy a monthly TMobile account because of Starbucks and other places I visit for access.

Read the whole string of comments on his blog to see the differences in mobile phone technologies.
I bring this up because Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications has partnered with Panasonic Computer Solutions Company to deliver EDGE-Embedded Panasonic rugged notebook PCs that could have great applicability in many remote automation situations--say large process plants with technicians on the go. The solution is Sony Ericsson GC83 EDGE PC Cards integrated into the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 notebook PC using Cingular Wireless EDGE network.
