Apple is getting ready to launch a new iPod Touch with a built-in camera and microphone according to rumors setoff at the iTouch manufacturing site.
The iPod Touch would be a nice VoIP phone – via a wireless connection. All that is required is a microphone and a download of Skype application. That capability is available now with the current iTouch and a microphone attachment.
Possible release date: Fall 2009.
From: Telework Exchange
The Commonwealth of Virginia, Telework!VA, and Telework Exchange are
encouraging organizations and individuals to telework from home or a remote location on Monday, August 3, 2009 – Telework Day. WHY?
Telework is a win-win-win opportunity for organizations, employees, and the environment.
Telework supports:
Reduction of traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, and wear and tear on public
transportation
Business as usual
Personnel recruitment and retention
Real estate savings
Work/life balance and commuter-cost savings
On June 10, 2009, Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine issued an Executive Order to “green” Virginia – calling for reductions in energy consumption and efficiency in state government operations as well as a statewide Telework Day to save the energy of commuting.
A vacation to the Midwest states revealed some interesting wireless networks.
Iowa – Hot spot wireless at highway rest stops. Corn, cows, and wifi.
Airports: Denver, San Jose, Omaha, Phoenix – Free wireless. Previously this was a pay service. Most networks with Cisco gear in use. To connect to one airport network had to pass through 5 pages of captive portal to finally get access. Awkward.
Southwest Airlines – Wireless access on the flight. Pay service. Content filter, no videos. No thanks.
My niece watched Barney videos on my iPhone. Now that’s next generation wireless.

Reports that Apple’s iPhones are draining their batteries so fast that some users can’t make it through a workday without recharging likely point to a problem in the new iPhone OS 3.0 software, an Apple hardware expert said.
Users started complaining about poor battery performance almost as soon as Apple offered iPhone 3.0, the software available for download June 17 for first-generation iPhones and second-generation iPhone 3Gs. The new iPhone 3GS relies on the same software.
Google reports that the average volume of spam messages in the second quarter of 2009 was 53% higher than it was in first quarter of the year. SF WiFi can concur.

“Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate customers will have the option to downgrade to Windows XP Professional from PCs that ship within 18 months following the general availability of Windows 7 or until the release of a Windows 7 service pack, whichever is sooner, and if a service pack is developed,” a company spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
Meru, a company that develops and markets wireless LAN infrastructure solutions, has introduced the E(z)RF OnTheGo application specifically designed for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch.
Aimed at business-to-business clients, the application is billed as the first of it’s kind across the industry, built around the recently updated E(z)RF Network Manager 2.0 software tool.
Network administrators for the first time can work untethered from their desktop consoles, gaining the ability to view customised dashboards, receive high-priority alerts from an iPhone.
As a browser-based application, E(z)RF OnTheGo does not require users to download any software onto an iPhone.
From what we hear from our Hospitality clients guest occupancy has been down during the winter. Business is starting to pick up a bit this spring and with summer approaching it is a good time to look at amenities and upgrade long overdue services.
Hotel guests are now pounding the hotel wireless networks with their iPhones, Netbooks, laptops and connecting to traffic intense sites like Pandora, YouTube, Hulu and maybe connecting back to their office for email and work. Nowadays almost no vacation lacks a few business emails.
A wireless network with spotty coverage, poor design, downtime, lack of features will drive guests away.
I have been told by a few clients that guests will not even check in if there isn’t sufficient wireless at the hotel.
SF WiFi resolves wireless network issues. Our Hotel General Managers are happy and the guests don’t complain to the front desk!! Well maybe guests still complain about the continental breakfast – but we can’t support that.
SF WiFi offers s FREE site survey to gather the necessary information for a proper wireless design.
