Next Turn In Notebooks
Posted by Dana Blankenhorn
The best source of inside skinny on wireless product plans may be Guy Kewney's Newswirelessnet. And his latest, on coming changes in the notebook arena, is a very good one. (That's Guy at last year's Mobius 2003 show, courtesey MSMobiles.Com)
What's new in notebooks? Smaller hard drives, for one thing, "only" 40 gigabytes, but with better shock absorption. And 802.11g, instead of 802.11b, wireless LAN access. Guy also expects DVD read-write drives to become standard features.
Everything else goes on sale, cheap. So if you need a fat hard drive on your notebook, and can stand 802.11b for some time to come, get to the store now.
