We are very often asked how to choose a notebook. In fact for a mainstream user there are not too many options to consider.

• Do not buy the notebook with Intel or S3 graphics. Choose NVidia or ATI graphics instead.
• Make sure the notebook has an international warranty, preferably 2 years or more.
• Decide what’s more important for you — portability or usability. Usually it will be very tiresome for eyes to work long hours on the screen sizes less than 13″. On the other hand, 17″ screen notebook is not a nicest thing to lug around on a world tour. Most common size is 14″ wide screen.
• If you want to watch movies from the notebook on the LCD or Plasma TV, make sure the notebook has an HDMI output and it supports HDCP.
• Will the battery last long enough for your needs?

The brands we currently recommend and sell are ASUS, Dell and Acer.

Changed the laguage for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to russian for the customer. The phone was bought in Malaysia. The number of hoops to jump through to do this is amazing. Had to change the product code to Ukrainian as the new 20.x firmware is for some crazy reason is not available for Russia, and had to find the firware download as the Nokia Software Updater is not listing any firmware updates for Ukraine or Russia. All the manipulations with IPhone look much easier after Nokia

We are offering a new service: Blackberry unlock.

ASUS EEEBox B202 is now available. It’s a perfect small form factor computer for the boats as it is powered by 12VDC.

We are starting sales of the router fitted with a custom firmware able to wirelessly share a CDMA connection through USB EV-DO modems sold by CAT Telecom. So far we successfully tested our solution with C-motech CCU-650 and CCU-680 modems; we will test it with a new Novatel Wireless Ovation CM727 modem soon. There are the folloving advantages of this solution over a connection sharing from a regular PC:

• Small form factor
• Low power consumption
• Can be easily placed outdoors
• More reliable
• Less expensive

The price of the solution and the basic installation is 6500 baht.

The CDMA signal is too weak in your area? We can install an additional 10.5dBi directional antenna which will extend the range of the USB modem considerably.

UPDATE 17/12/08: The connection speed for CAT CDMA is about 1Mbps downlink.

UPDATE 25/12/08: Novatel Wireless Ovation CM727 is tested and it works with our solution, as well as with Linux and Mac OS X.
