All in One
It's amazing how much can be packed into mobile devices
these days. Samsung's new SPH-i700 Windows-powered Pocket PC
lets you manage work with desktop-class applications and
communicate via voice, e-mail and photo images. This "mobile
intelligent terminal" has an integrated CDMA 2000 1x wireless
communication module and a built-in VGA camera. Windows Media
Player provides multimedia file playback, and MSN Messenger is used
for text messaging. The i700 also has an Intel XScale 300MHz
processor, 64MB RAM and an SD expansion slot.
Easy Router
If you've been holding off on wireless networking because of
throughput and security worries, it's time to reevaluate.
Netgear's WGT624 108Mbps Wireless Firewall Router offers twice
the data throughput of 54Mbps 802.11g wireless routers and is up to
10 times faster than 802.11b devices, while still maintaining
backward compatibility with both. Unlike .11g routers, WGT624 can
even mix modes, slowing down for 54Mbps devices and speeding up
again for other equally capable access points. A four-port Ethernet
switch, the WGT624 also includes a double firewall (NAT and SPI),
WPA and WEP data encryption, and supports multiple VPN tunnels.
