A bumper addition. This is probably the most new devices (42) to hit our provisioning platform in a 7 day period since we launched in Summer 2007. The Palm Pre makes a welcome appearance and once again Samsung devices make up over 20% of the total. I’m constantly amazed at how many devices Samsung produce each with their own hardware and software configuration. Their production processes must be incredibly efficient and agile to support that much differentiation. They clearly deserve their 2nd place position behind Nokia.

Verizon is now providing free WiFi through Boingo hotspots for its medium-and-faster-speed DSL and fiber customers (pdf).
The service is provided by Boingo. It allows Verizon to match the free WiFi available from AT&T which has been available for more than a year.
Verizon Wi-Fi is not available for PDAs, phones, desktop PCs or Macs — only laptops. Only 3 Mbps DSL or faster and 20 Mbps FiOS or faster customers qualify for free Boingo service and it’s not yet available for Macs.
AT&T’s Wi-Fi plan, available at Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, and other locations, requires their 3G Dataconnect service plan for $60 per month.
Boingo also resells AT&T’s Wi-Fi service, notes IDG News. Boingo has 30,000 hotspots in the US, but only some of those are from AT&T’s network, including nearly 7,500 Starbucks outlets.
Cablevision also supplies free WiFi for cable modem subscribers in New York.
Barnes & Noble, the world’s largest chain of bookstores, last week announced it will now provide free Wi-Fi in all 777 of its stores throughout the United States.
Barnes & Noble signed a strategic agreement with AT&T to provide free Wi-Fi to all its customers. No AT&T subscription required.
The company hopes to bring more customers into the store, and expand its current e-book catalog of 700,000 titles — 500,000 of which are free public domain e-books from Google — over the coming months. Source: http://www.dailywireless.org/2009/08/03/verizon-free-wifi-with-dslfios/

This highly mobile device will work on advance 4G networks with GPS, giving you a full-time network connection to VIP services. The device will also include a circular touch-screen interface, accelerometer technology, PDA phone, squeeze buttons on the perimeter, and full-resolution built-in multimedia LED projector. Let’s just hope it will come into production soon.
