...While many point to handsets like this as proof that Wi-Fi and wide-area broadband networks will co-exist, I think that the i730 is a good example of why only one is necessary. The original promise was that these devices would simply upload and download data using the most efficient means, and that all of the streaming would happen below the surface. Instead, the burden is on the user-do you want Wi-Fi or EVDO at this very moment?-and it remains to be seen whether the user is the best person to make this judgment. Wide...
...into your PC and click on its icon. CVS' own program starts up, allowing you to send particular clips one at a time or joined into a continuous movie. You input e-mail addresses and off it goes. Broadband is better when you're uploading your video: a 5-minute clip can easily take 10 minutes to upload, even on a high-speed connection. But even if it's going to multiple addresses, it only has to upload it one time. Recipients get just a link that they click to download and watch the video...
...period of relative technological stagnation, especially when compared with the furious frenzy of Internet innovation that preceded it. But since 2000 we've experienced a massive, largely uncelebrated transformation. We've seen the rise of digital music. Digital cameras have become ubiquitous. HDTV is finally coming into its own. Broadband Internet access has become common, as has wi-fi--a coffee shop without a hot spot now feels positively Victorian. If 1995-2000 was the dotcom era, the dot-home era is now upon us.

...from audio banality is at hand: Turn off the radio and log onto the Internet. With thousands of internet radio stations streaming music from every corner of the planet, every sound, from mambo to extreme metal, is at your fingertips. Tuning in is simple. All you need is a broadband connection, a good sound card (most new computers have one built in), a set of speakers and some media-playing software, such as RealPlayer (www.real.com), Winamp (www.winamp.com) or Windows Media Player (www.microsoft.com). These players can be downloaded for free and come loaded with a select list of Web stations. Here...
...This raid on NTT's war chest could not come at a more critical time. Only about 40% of Japanese households currently have high-speed Internet access, meaning an all-out battle is being fought for the fast-growing market. Leading the charge has been Softbank, which initiated a broadband ADSL service in 2001 under the Yahoo! BB logo at rates that far undercut anything then on the market. In December that same year, it added VOIP (voice over Internet protocol)?telephony delivered over the Internet?at deep discounts to NTT's fixed-line phone fees. And in July...
