* Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy.

* Wing
Admittedly they have horrible ads and bad taste in movies, but the Television shows are no bad. (I left out the [...]

Audiovox, Apex of cellphones?

Om Malik, Tuesday, March 23, 2004 at 9:03 AM PT Comments (2)

In the whole hubbub about cellphones, one company which gets totally overlooked is Audiovox. The company makes affordable feature packed cellphones, and has done well to garner big carriers like Verizon as its clients. Their phones seem to be of reasonable quality, and the fact that Verizon offers their handsets is proof, that the quality [...]

A lot of municipalities are embracing the good ole Wi-Fi technology. Jumping on the bandwagon today are West Des Moines, Iowa, Show Low, Arizona and Lincoln, Nebraska. (They are all using gear from BelAir Networks which got a big investment from T-Mobile this morning.)

Three members of the Midwest Tel Net consortium - Hillsboro Telephone Company, LaValle Telephone Cooperative and Richland-Grant Telephone Cooperative, are going triple play and will use gear from Santa Barbara-based Occam Networks to deliver voice, video and high-speed data to the companies’ rural residential and small business subscribers. All three telecos are based in Southern Wisconsin.

CTIA 2004, Day One

Om Malik, Monday, March 22, 2004 at 9:03 AM PT Comments (0)

* Moto strikes back
Moto introduces three new phones at CTIA - A845, dual-mode UMTS/WCDMA handset, the V710, featuring 1.2-megapixel digital-camera and feature-packed clamshell for CDMA networks and the A840, the company’s first GSM/CDMA handset, bringing reliable global roaming to the global traveler. (My guess is that A840 is purely targeting the Vodafone/Verizon userbase.)
* Verizon Broadband [...]
