Michael,
Acutally, hacking the ACL of a given WiFi network is fairly well child's play...sniff, spoof, appropriate a DCHP addy and you're in...course, you're also breaking a few laws in the process. Whats more, anyone on this board that things that a) the WLAN and WWAN connections have the same speed are simply confused. It's pretty rare that you'd even see full T-1 speeds at a coffee shop or airport and I know cause I check them all the time...and that would be with perfect connecitivity and no one else on the network.
I could go on and on about the ways in which the performance of this device has been misrepresented but why bother when I can post this:
Cell phone with WiFi Roaming
By samc on Cell and Wi-Fi Roaming
Gizmodo, Telecoms Korea and PhoneScoop have news on LG's WiFi phone, the LG-CL400.
It's the first dual-mode phone offering WiFi and GSM/GPRS networks with US-based Kineto Wireless. With their Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology, a caller is supposed to be able to roam from a WiFi hotspot to cellular coverage seamlessly.
A press photo released by LG showed the phone with a Cingular logo on the outer display. The clamshell phone features a camera with flash, MP3 player, and dual color displays. No word on availablity.
A real company with real equipment that meets the 3GPP Standard.
I guess the departure of their fearless leader, the fact that SLeipner is another made up entity and the loss of their CFO are still not enough to convince the faithful...either that or they're simply desperately trying to unload their shares...
