Today I received the new Cradlepoint PHS-300 I ordered. This is a phenominal device. It is a personal WiFi router that allows you to plug in your EVDO or HDSPA (3G) broadband USB modem into it and then share that connection with up to 16 WiFi devices. You can also use your cell phone as a tethered modem to provide the 3G connectivity. You can connect to the WiFi with either 802.11b or 802.11g and includes a complete NAT with SPI firewall. It features 64/128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption and supports all operating systems and PDAs with WiFi support. It also includes a Lithium-Ion battery for up to 3 hours of use (ships with an AC adapter but you can also purchase a car-adapter to charge it as well). I use it to connect my MacBook Pro and iPhone on the road allowing me to utilize the faster 3G network with the iPhone. The best of all worlds.

Mophie is taking pre-orders on their new “Juice Pack” for the iPhone. This is an external rechargeable lithium polymer battery which functions like a non-slip, soft slip case. You can charge the Juice Pack separately from the iPhone. It can also be charged using the iPhone cable or through any iPhone compatible device with a 30-pin dock connector. Sounds like a great product. Time to order mine!
I added to my Nikon collection today by picking up the new Nikon D300 and MB-D10 multi power battery pack. This is just an amazing body! I am now going to use my D200 as my backup body and sell my D100 on eBay or Craig’s List. I will post a review soon on this D300 body so stay tuned!

Woz is looking forward to using Leopard and likes the idea of third-party apps for the iPhone. Laptop Magazine has a long interview with Woz and he says, “I am really for the unlockers, the rebels trying to make it free. I’d really like it to be open to new applications. I’d like to install some nice games. Why in the world can I not install a ringtone that I’ve made?” We are with you Woz! Check out Laptop Magazine for the entire interview…
Today, Apple updated their site to include the $100 Credit for the early adopters of the iPhone. The form is on Apple’s main web site page. I just submitted my two iPhones and now have my two $100 credit approvals.
