Southwest Airlines Looking At WiFi In The Sky

I'm a very frequent flier on Southwest Airlines. About 10 flights a month on average when I'm in the USA. You can imagine just how happy people like me will be with WiFi on the flights.

Having used WiFi during the Boeing Connexion era last year on international flights the feeling of getting off a plane and being all caught up on email, and blogging, is rather relaxing. Personally, I'd love to beta test this once SouthWest gets it up in the air.

Ken Camp Likes His Nokia N800 Too

Ken Camp is rapidly becoming a real gadget guy. He's opened up the N800 box, didn't mess around with an unboxing video and has been trying it out.

He's right about the call quality that we experienced yesterday. Simply marvelous over GizmoProject. My fiance (who I bought one for recently at CompUSA) and I have also done the same, as have iotum co-founders Howard Thaw and Alec Saunders who I spoke with last night before heading out to dinner.

This is one very sweet device and between the bloggers in the Nokia Blogger Relations Program and friends who are buying them, this may become the "walkie talkie" of the decade.

Now This Is A WiFi Cloud

When I was in London recently I saw the SSID for this river side WiFi cloud. It is a very ambitious project, but it's not a mesh network, which is why it will work very well with Voice and Video. They're using Bel Air access points just like Cheetah Wireless is doing in Las Vegas.
