Maybe it's 100, something makes me think it's 40 though...

I guess I just have a crappy house, but I only have 40 Amp service to the breaker. Plugging this thing in brings to mind the scene from "Christmas Vacation" where the power plant needs to turn on the Emergency Nuclear Power...

Autonet Mobile in-car WiFi router goes national with Amazon availability

That would be nice, but I'm not sure that is what happened in my case. I live across the street from IAH so pretty much all cell signals are at 100% there and it still picked EV-DO (Verizon) and said it was Roaming with 100% signal strength. The Sprint service we measured it against was around three times as fast in the same location. I would like to see it jump to a HSUPA and see how it does though.

Maximum of 19 mW of broadcast power. I'm pretty sure you were speaking with your tongue firmly placed in your cheek, but I just thought I would mention that.

They use a leased network, here in Houston it connects to Verizon towers. My friend and I did a review of it while connected to a dodge caravan (he's a texas auto writer) and it benched slower than using his sprint phone as a wireless router.

Switched On: When netbooks suffer from 'Droid rage

Jun 16th 2009 7:20PM (Engadget)
I agree that Android really doesn't have a place in mainstream Netbooks, but a device like you're talking about would be perfect for students at all levels honestly. Notes, lectures, worksheets, homework, textbooks, all available "in the cloud" so to speak, with minimal storage and multiple connectivity options would be ideal. Imagine a paperless school, how awesome would that be? Though inexpensive I can only imagine on a national scale what kind of a budget that would require...

Vista update improves "legacy" game support

Jan 31st 2007 1:58PM (Joystiq)
Honestly the prices aren't that bad. Buy the OEM version from NewEgg or something it's only 200 bucks for Ultimate OEM. Same as XP used to be. You can buy OEM Home basic for 150 or less I think and that's what it used to cost to upgrade to XP, so I don't think there's anyhting astronomical about their pricing...
