I have verizon internet anywhere on my laptop.

Go to the park and read peak oil forums :D

I've read about Verizon and there high speed wireless internet. I would have it, but right now its only in large markets like Las Vegas.

I do use a PDA (palm pilot clone) with built in Wi-Fi and can easily connect to networks pretty much anywhere I roam(little iffy about the legality of doing this). Its annoying sometimes, but if all your doing is checking mail and PO, its all you need. Heres the one I have.

Hello everyone,

We would like to introduce our new application, Mobile Commodity Price Quotes:
http://www.exosyphen.com/page_commodities.html

It's available for free, and it's written in Java.
If you install the application and it works on your phone, we would appreciate if you could let us now, so we can add the phone model to the tested phones list. It should work on any Java phone.

I hope you will find it usefull.

Thank you.

Right....free until a few months down the road when you have to pay $9.95/yr for a lame ass java product when most folks who want to look at this info can get it free by having their mobile browser go to bloomberg.

You might next try selling snowcones to the Inuit.

I thought there was a policy against blatant advertising??

[mrobert]

@rockdoc123 :
Yes, they can go to bloomberg. How much time does it take until you load the bloomberg site on your mobile? And also consider the higher data costs involved in that. Larger chunk of data => more waiting time, higher data costs.

There was a good reason I developed that

Mobile phones may soon be used on planes

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('New Scientist Jun '07', 'O')ne of the last telephone-free environments on the planet, the airplane, is about to be connected, allowing travellers to make mobile phone calls at high altitude.

Requests to switch off cellphones and fasten seatbelts are a familiar part of the take-off routine for airline passengers, but a European company has found a way to make dialling safe and link up people from above the clouds.

"Cabin connectivity is here," chief commercial officer of OnAir, Graham Lake, said at the Paris Air Show this week. His company, a joint venture between European plane maker Airbus and airline IT group Sita, received a green light from the European Aviation Safety Agency on Monday to begin fitting equipment to commercial jets.

Approval from a handful of national telecommunication regulators are the final hurdles, Lake says: "What we are confident of now is that we'll have pan-European approval to operate before the end of 2007."

The technology is to be operated by an Air France plane for the first time in September 2007 and will then roll out across the world, with low-cost operators Ireland-based Ryanair and Malaysia's AirAsia some of the biggest clients.

"It's the first time anywhere in the world that a system has been authorised and confirmed for the safe operation of phones and BlackBerry-type devices on aircraft," Lake said.

The expansion timetable means European consumers will be the first to be able to use the technology...

Well apparently on Flight 93 on 9/11 they used mobiles phone to call their family, or was it another official lie?

The cell phone on flight 93 could only have happened if the plane was on the ground or if the passengers did not take the plane. We still don't know what happened to flight 93. There was even a report that the plane landed in Cleveland to be searched for a bomb. Also the crash site doesn't seem to show airplane debris but rather a hole created by an explosion.

It's possible to use the cell phone in planes using a newly developped technology that consists of embedding a cell phone emitter inside the plane and linking it using another transmission mean, like a radio transmission either to station on the ground or a satellite...

This technology has been tested for the first time in the year 2004 and didn't exist in 2001...

I hope you all are not implying that the government would lie to you! I mean, they are honest elected representatives of the people!

Radio waves don't go thru metal. A perforated aluminum tube will allow some radio waves out, but with much attenuation. Certainly no cell phones could have been in contact with the ground from 30,000 ft as the corrupt gov't corporate whores once reported shortly after Sept 11, 2001. Most of us have noticed that the current admin has a pretty lousy track record re: the truth--much like a couple posters here. Corporate whores are everywhere....

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'T')he hijacked planes didn't fly at 30,000 feet. That is disinformation spread by conspiracy advocates. In actuality, the hijackers flew the hijacked jets at lower elevations to try to avoid radar.

[Plantagenet]

The conspiracy people can't deny that calls were made on air-to-ground Airphones from the planes hijacked on 9/11 planes. They want to lie and claim such calls were impossible, but next time you fly on a jet, just pull out your credit card and make a call on the Airphone. It works like a charm.

The cell phone issue is also a fake one drummed up by the conspiracy advocates. They advance the red herring that such calls are "impossible" from 30,000 feet, but back in the real world the hijackers flew lower once they got control of the planes so the calls on 9/11 were never made from 30,000 feet altitude anyway.

Cell phone call made from the summit of Mt. Everest

Psst----Don't tell the conspiracy nuts, but the summit of Mt. Everest is at 29,000 feet.
