Friday February 25, 2005 Gateway to your wallet: Sanyo Wipoq
Here's a review of the Sanyo Wipoq. It's a device that can utilize a Personal Mobile Gateway (like a mini-hub that connects personal devices to your wireless carrier but you carry it around with you) (PMG) if you have one, or it can use Bluetooth to your mobile phone with Lan Access Profile (LAP) and use it like a modem. The idea is to break up your personal devices into components (like a e-mailer, browser, camera, etc.) and have them each individually get to the network through your PMG (that acts like a mobile hub). That's a lot of stuff to carry in your pockets! See: The Register's Review of the Sanyo Wipoq Anyway, the press announcement says it has a built-in Java browser. What the heck is a Java browser? A Web-browser written in the Java programming language? A Web-browser that only shows Java applets? A bunch of photos of cups of coffee you flip through? ;-) A bit ambiguous there. :-) |
