Sony Launches Wireless Handycam Access allnetdevices.com By allNetDevices Staff February 21, 2002 Sony Electronics Thursday launched a wireless service in the U.S. aimed specifically at connecting its new line of Bluetooth-enabled camcorders to the Internet. The company said its new So-net Internet access service in the U.S. enables owners of its line of Network Handycam camcorders to transmit video over the Internet without using a PC. Instead, the service enables users to transmit the information via Bluetooth to Net-enabled wireless phones that, in turn, transmit the video over the Internet. Standard phoneline connections also can be used. The company acknowledged that the camcorders will work with other Internet service providers but that the new service simplifies use of some of the device's features. For instance, it simplifies uploading images to and from Sony's ImageStation on-line photo sharing service. The So-net service is available now for $9.99 for 20 hours of connectivity and $19.99 for 150 hours. --------------- Information about the So-net service and subscription plans is available at usa.so-net.com

Motorola shows dual-mode 3G phone wireless.iop.org Motorola has unveiled a dual-mode 3G phone for the European market. "Dual-mode operation was the most difficult part of the development," said Bob Schukai, the company's director for 3G terminals. "This is because the handset must be aware of the radio environment it is in." Schukai told Wireless Europe that commercial production will start in the third quarter of this year. The phone includes MMS, Bluetooth and MPEG streaming. It also has an accessory that enables the phone to be used as a camera. The phone's hardware is based on a precursor of Motorola's I.300 3G platform, which will be made available to other manufacturers of 3G devices. Motorola recently agreed to supply Hutchinson with 3G phones by the end of the year. Schukai believes that this type of deal is key to the success of 3G. He predicts that greenfield operators will start things off.

ML: So my wildest dream is this. China(I mean the whole China) leading the charge and GSM1x sweeping through the Asia-Euro continent... Maybe not a wild dream. China Mobile has been having network capacity problems with GPRS in their tests (several articles have been posted on this). China Unicom has also been trialing GPRS on their GSM network with no public reports as yet of either success or problems. OTOH, Unicom is already on the CDMA path, plus there is some evidence in their public justifications for the CDMA network that they believe their present spectrum is inadequate for GSM to support the sub growth they are shooting for. GSM 1x would be a logical step for Unicom, and maybe one Mobile will seriously consider. David T.
