Why I'm not buying an iPhone

The iPhone is release here in the UK on Friday, and while it is incredibly tempting to get an iPhone, for a few simple reasons I wont be: The storage space is to small. Now I know I still iPods that have a 20GB hard disk on occasion, if I'm going to take advantage of that big screen, I need more space than the iPhone offers.That big screen is nice, but on a phone, it makes the unit huge, and I like something small enough that will fit in my pocket without feeling to uncomfortable when I sit down.The camera on it is way to low quality. I never thought I'd say this (I avoided buying a camera phone until last year), but I love the 3.2 megapixel camera on my K800i, and I'm already considering upgrading to the K850i for the 5 Megapixel camera.

SUNY Morrisville goes high spped!

I've never had the pleasure of visiting the SUNY school talked about in "America's Most Wired College' dives in to 802.11n wireless networking", but it sure seems to be on the cutting edge and is even known as the "most wired college". I think it's fantastic that administrators and faculty there have taken the bold step of implementing 802.11n wireless. That really shouldn't come as a surprise, as apparently, they're considered a "ThinkPad University," or a leader in mobile computing in education.  With so many students and staff using wireless laptops, it was almost necessary that the university adopt 802.11n wireless, which even reaches to parking areas - a plus for this school (located in northern NY where whether can be fierce) where commuting students like to check their computers before they get out of their cars and head to class. No surprise either: it seems even classrooms where laptops can be connected by wired outlets, students overwhelmingly prefer connecting wirelessly. The Morrisville dorms - with no wired outlets - leave students with only wireless as an option; making the switch to 802.11n in my opinion, a no-brainer.
