O2 claims win in UK mobile broadband speed test

What 3G?

Despite living in a large town, 10 miles from the Capital City (of Scotland) there is no o2 3G signal here. So Orange, Vodafone and Three get top marks here and T Mobile and o2 should hang their heads in shame.

OS

"But the iTablet runs a full-scale, multi-tasking OS: Windows 7"

Looks rather like Windows XP to me in that picture...

Solution

I have Comtrend 200mbps adaptors which have pass through sockets and best of all the ethernet port is on the top, so the adaptor can still be used with sockets close to the floor ;-)

Asus intros netbook with desktop CPU

How much?

So for less than £78 more I could get a proper mobile laptop with a ULV Pentium processor, 13.3" screen and built in DVD-RW drive. So much for the small cheap computers netbooks were supposed to be.

Who do they work for?

The bbc state that "The syndicate is a group of IT workers who are employed by Hewlett Packard. "

So which is it, BT or HP?

Cert error

Oh dear seems Google can't get their certificates in order. Other than that setup was a breeze - excellent (free) service.

TomTom UK and Ireland

Copilot is better (and cheaper)

Hmm apart from a few clunky menu options Copilot would seem to be the better option. It's much cheaper (£25.99 by memory), has lane assist for motorways, speed camera locations (with free updates for about 2 years), fuel prices and more.

Routing is fast and as accurate as the TomTom.
