So, here we are on your actual brink. My agency’s going to become a part of the military, I’ve got a president with his finger poised on the button, and you want me to walk across the park and tell him we want to hitch a ride with those very same Russians. Have I missed [...]
DailyWireless posting has been light since we are attending Innotech, a business and technology innovation conference and expo held in Portland this week.
Innotech features 100+ speakers, 90+ technology demos and will have some talks today on wireless networking.
Rick Turoczy who writes the Silicon Florist, a must read in the Silicon Forest, has lots of coverage. [...]
The Silicon Florist compiles an interesting feature called Six map apps that put Portland on the mapping map
Portland is map happy. And nowhere is that more evident than our obsession with the mapping APIs that further the technology of cartography.

I missed Qualcomm’s announcement last week, but it’s pretty impressive, if a little freaky.
Qualcomm’s new “HandSolo” technology allows consumers to get implantable baseband-transceiver SoC chips right in their fingertips. They can then initiate and receive calls with their fingers and thumb, even transfering calls through a high-five. Qualcomm’s WirelessLife.com has the latest.

Adopting a “white spaces” vision, Google is resurrected the 700 MHz band this week with a letter to the FCC presenting its plans to provide wireless Internet access to the entire U.S. (FCC pdf).
Google and other technology companies including Intel, Philips and Microsoft have pressed the FCC to open up the unused TV airwaves [...]
While at an RV show this weekend, I saw a mobile WiFi router with a cellular booster amp for WiFi access in remote places. The $795 kit delivers a solid cellular signal where regular phones can’t and the WiFi router is smaller, cheaper and faster than satellite connections.
I talked to Rob Taylo whose [...]
