An N800 with WiMAX would be ideal for making voice over IP (VoIP) phone calls, and could conceivably challenge the hegemony of cellular-based voice and data networks. And yet the prospect of such a device effecting Nokia’s bread and butter business, cell phones and smartphones, doesn’t appear to concern Nokia’s director of open source, Dr. Ari Jaaksi, all that much.

Sprint plans to become the first mobile operator to offer fourth-generation wireless service later this year, when it starts to roll out a mobile network based on the 802.16e or WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) standard. Shortly after that, in 2008, Sprint will offer a WiMAX-enabled edition of Nokia’s Linux-run N800 Internet Tablet.

For daily commuters who want to avoid traffic, Sony Electronics today revealed the latest nav-u personal navigation system. The new NV-U71T model is the second offering in the company’s navigation lineup.
Ready to use right out of the box, this slimmer, easy-to-use device helps drivers map a destination, locate points of interest, find home again and avoid traffic congestion.

With an included RDS-TMC real-time traffic receiver built into a supplied cradle, the device notifies drivers of heavy traffic areas and automatically gives them an alternate route choice. The real-time traffic service requires a separate subscription, but drivers will receive the first 90 days free of charge. For continued traffic service, a subscription will cost $4.95 a month after the initial trial period.

Sony is launching its first WiFi broadband communication and entertainment device to capitalize on the growth of wireless Internet access. The new myloâ„¢ personal communicator is capable of operating in any open 802.11b wireless network, often found on college campuses, in public spaces and within private homes around the country.
This product is designed for people who use instant messaging as a primary form of communication and networking for their social life. The name mylo stands for “my life online” and the communicator lets you use instant messaging, browse the Internet, listen to music, send emails and view photos concurrently.

Small enough for a pocket or purse, the slim, oblong-shaped device features a 2.4 inch color LCD (measured diagonally) with a slide out QWERTY keyboard for comfortable and quick thumb typing.
The device, available in black or white, comes embedded with popular instant messaging services: the Google Talkâ„¢ instant messaging service, Skype and Yahoo! Messengerâ„¢. These services are free and the product does not require initial computer setup or a monthly service contract.

Sony took the wraps off a new line of richly-designed, high-performance ultra-portable notebooks.

The VAIO® TZ model incorporates the power of a larger PC into a small, portable form factor. Luxuriously sleek, it weighs just 2.65 pounds and measures less than 1-inch thin.

The notebook is available in a classic black, premium carbon, champagne gold, and hand-painted Bordeaux. The unit has a carbon-fiber casing that contributes to its light weight, extra-slim figure and durability.

The model incorporates an energy-efficient 11.1-inch widescreen display (diagonal) with Sony’s original XBRITE-HiColor™ LCD technology, producing images in brilliant detail for razor-sharp viewing on-the-go.
