CTIA Wireless comes to a close, and we got the bunch of cellular networks’ CEOs all sitting down and attempting to tell the world in summary, of what they think of their industry and where they are heading.
CNET reports on some of their “interesting” comments, but we are generally unimpressed. A bit peeved, even. C’mon [...]

eCost.com is selling the fully-loaded, WiFi/Bluetooth iPAQ 2755 for $479.99. Lowest we got on the ‘Net for now is $459.99.

We are just so gratified to learn that HSDPA is getting the limelight it deserves in 2005. engadget has a post on Lucent’s real-world HSDPA demo at CTIA Wireless; streaming high-quality video and downloading a file thru a total bandwith of 3Mbps.

Firstly, forgive us for not naming the units any other way but by OEM’s codenames: There are just so many iterations of the Magician worldwide our brain hurts every time we think of them … But the Universal seems to be only available (so far) with T-Mobile and Vodafone in Germany, and they are named [...]

Dell must be in the mood for spreading some Axim love - Axim X50v that is - and Pocket PC Thoughts caught up with a couple going on in Australia, $150 Cash-off and Canada, CDN$399.00.

We’ll chip in on what’s the deal in South East Asia by noting Dell Malaysia’s X50v deal of a free 512MB [...]
