A Sierra Wireless notebook card nicknamed the "Triple Lindy" should lead the charge, Engadget says, and will have a dual-stage enclosure that can either work as a regular ExpressC... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/26/att.hspa.plus.modem.leak/ Tue, 26 May 2009 19:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/16/option.globesurfer.x.1/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/optionglobesurferx1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />For its time at MWC, Option on Monday released the GlobeSurfer X.1. Intended as a bridge router for those who already have their own 3G modems, the small network device centers on a top-mounted USB port that lets users attach most 3G USB sticks and rely on their signals for an Internet connection, even if the adapter comes from a rival to Option. The X.1's local wireless runs on 802.11n Wi-Fi an... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/16/option.globesurfer.x.1/ Mon, 16 Feb 2009 21:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/option.intros.globesurfer/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/globesurferIIIintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Option on Thursday announced the release of its new 3G wireless router that is capable of creating a Wi-Fi hotspot with a fast HSPA broadband connection in a networked home or small office. The device has a USB interface that allows users to connect external hard drives to back up data or share their content over the Wi-Fi link. A connected printer can also be hooked up and shared by all who have ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/option.intros.globesurfer/ Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/20/intel.demos.moorestown/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/intelep80579.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel today at the start of its fall Developer Forum showed off a working example of a Moorestown-based device, putting the chipset on track for its 2009-2010 launch window. The chipmaker has yet to describe the device but reiterates that the technology should be much more effective for mobile Internet devices (MIDs) and ultra-mobile PCs. Through a 45 nanometer process as well as a redesign of t... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/20/intel.demos.moorestown/ Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/14/usbconnect.quicksilver.att/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/optionusbconnectquicksilver.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T on Tuesday morning quietly picked up the USBConnect Quicksilver as its latest external modem. The adapter made by Option uses a new Icera 3G chipset that supports all three major HSPA frequencies while creating one of the smallest devices available; the new adapter is small enough to come with a swivel cover that protects the USB port when the modem isn't in use. AT&T estimates real-world d... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/14/usbconnect.quicksilver.att/ Tue, 14 Oct 2008 14:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/04/att.3g.faster.for.notebook/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/sierraaircard881-att.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T today said it has upped speeds with its LaptopConnect users in mind through a set of upgrades to the company's HSPA-based 3G wireless network. The service sees a major boost to upload speeds that increases the peak from 800Kbps to 1.2Mbps, a 50 percent gain which is nearly in line with download speeds. Those download speeds have also increased in overall performance, increasing from a minim... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/04/att.3g.faster.for.notebook/ Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/apple.execs.net.75.million/ <img align='left' src='0' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's executive team ñ with the exception of CEO Steve Jobs and General Counsel Daniel Cooperman ñ were forced to deal with restricted stock units that were due to expire. Phil Shiller, Bertrand Serlet, and Ron Johnson have each converted 250,000 restricted stock options to shares, and each gave up over 113,000 shares to pay for expenses regarding the matter. This was due to a decision of perfor... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/apple.execs.net.75.million/ Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/14/att.option.hspa.cards/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/optiongtultra-att.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AT&T on Thursday expanded its data card options for its newborn HSPA 3G network with two adapters from Option. Both the ExpressCard/34-based GT Ultra Express and the standard GT Ultra (pictured) for older PC Card-equipped notebooks provide access to the HSUPA component of the carrier's network, permitting faster speeds in areas with the faster coverage: practical download speeds range between 600... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/14/att.option.hspa.cards/ Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:10:00 GMT
