I drove down a bit ago to southern Israel. The highway cuts through the desert. Coming for the United States I did not expect to have any coverage in the middle of the desert. I was proven wrong. Through out the the four hour trip I was connected on my laptop via my cellular card and I was on the web browsing @ 1.5 mbps with no issue. I was also making VOIP calls with no issues over G711U !!! When will the US catch up ?

I tend to browse EnGadget a bit and I have noticed a lot of new toys that I would love to get if I was able to afford all of them. Some of these include:
Small Laptop that runs on a SSD (Solid State Drive) memory. It will be made by EEPC. (I may actually get this one).
PDA phone made by HTC for Sprint.
Nokia N810. Now if it only ran Windows Mobile……
19 Inch LCD screen from Smasung.
Pyxis GPS watch.
Several Smart phones by Verizon.
Anyone want to help me create a fund for my toy addiction ?

EDIT: I keep finding more toys. Here is another.
I had a peak at a demo model of the new HTC X7500 at VON Israel yesterday. All I can say is WOW. The device has a 5 inch touch screen. It boasts 8 gigs of memory, HD Slot, GPS, Wifi, TV Output and HSDPA Technology. The phone works on GSM which is a downer for Verizon users. And oh it has a detachable qwerty keyboard !! I can’t wait to get my hands on one of them. Time to break that piggy bank.
