In an unusual move, Samsung announced pricing for these new tablets starting with the 10.1 (16GB WiFi only) model weighing in at $499, exactly where the iPad 2 starts.

No, I’m not talking about MY life online, this is SONY’s latest and greatest geek gadget, mylo (My Life Online). This is the device that many of us wanted Apple to announce at yesterday’s WWDC Keynote, yet it took Sony to actually give us what we wanted. This device has the potential to be another iPod with todays digital generation, but it’s not quite there yet…. Unlike it’s closest messaging competitor, the T-Mobile Sidekick, this device works on WiFi rather than a cell providers signal…. Good, you can do things like instant message your buddies, surf the web, and even make phone calls via Skype for free…. The mylo is also attempting to jump into the iPod space by providing you the ability to load up your music, photos and video…. The screen is smaller, it only plays certain music formats (Apple’s AAC isn’t one of them), and probably the single biggest drawback is Sony’s insistence on utilizing their memory stick format, rather than a hard drive in the device. By using the memory sticks, they once again fail to provide adequate storage space for things like music and video, which is one of the biggest downfalls of the PSP.
Another place Bellsouth deployed access to is Palatka, FL. If you think DeLand is in the boonies, Palatka makes DeLand look like NYC. So why deploy a service where like 3 people will actually subscribe, instead of a major city like Miami, where people will sign up in droves and extremely tech savvy users will put it to the test?… [ via PR Newswire ] ATLANTA, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ — In its sixth launch of wireless broadband service in six months, BellSouth (NYSE: BLS) announced today that BellSouth(R) Wireless Broadband Service is now available in DeLand, Fla. BellSouth’s wireless broadband service offers residential and business customers high-speed Internet access, with downstream speeds up to 1.5Mbps and no phone line needed. The system transmits signals between local radio towers and a small non-line-of-sight desktop subscriber modem and utilizes BellSouth licensed WCS 2.3GHz spectrum…. The company initially deployed the service last August in Athens, Ga., and has since deployed in Palatka, Fla.; New Orleans, La.; Gulfport, Miss.; Biloxi, Miss.; and now DeLand, Fla…. “For many people, wireless broadband may be their first opportunity to experience high-speed Internet,” continued Criser. “BellSouth Wireless Broadband Service can offer those and other customers a high-speed Internet solution with the flexibility they want, the simplicity and security they need and the affordability they have come to expect from BellSouth.”
