I need to understand more about the product, but if it will let me
login during by train commute every day you might find me getting it.
Likewise, I think it complements nicely our CS department's research
project (Student Electronic Notebook) which uses higher speed spread
spectrum radio LAN technology. We have all kinds of uses that can and
will benefit from radio technology: 100 year old architecutral
landmark library reading rooms that we want students to be able to
bring their laptop computer into and "jack in"; possibly networking
dorms with radio rather than wire since students move around so
frequently; twice-a-year things like setting up a network for three
days on the basketball court in the gym for registration; lab
workbench notebooks; etc. So please keep those product announcements
coming!
