D-Link’s jumping into the Draft 802.11n pool with the DIR-655 Xtreme N router, which has three antennas that are, coincidentally enough, not used for MIMO.

Cellphone Acronyms Demystified For Fun and Profit

We bandy about acronyms like EDGE, GSM, and EV-DO all the time when talking about cellphones and smartphones. We like to pride ourselves on the ability to explain what we’re talking about concisely for the newcomer while not going too slow for the veteran.

Navicore’s Personal 2007 GPS works features Bluetooth compatibility and is only 64x22x15mm and weighs 30g. For a GPS device, that’s pretty damn small.
