One Million phones?! Wow, in such a short time period really. They only started shipping on July 15th, and they hit 1 million in less than a month and a half, that’s not bad at all. Then if you take into account that that’s only on two carriers, T-Mobile and At&t, that’s especially good numbers.  They’re going to be hitting Sprint in a  couple days and then Verizon and other carriers later this fall.

Samsung Mobile, the  No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S., today announced that it has shipped one million of its Android 2.1-powered Galaxy S devices in the U.S. market. Samsung Mobile began shipping the Galaxy S portfolio on July 15, which are currently available with AT&T and T-Mobile.  Galaxy S devices will also be available with Sprint on August 31 and will be available with Verizon Wireless, U.S. Cellular and Cellular South this fall.

Today for review Geeks has sent me over another of their GPS Devices, this one though is bit special in that it’s a themed type with Dale Jr as its theme. Yes, it’s a Nascar themed GPS unit that comes with pictures and movies featuring Dale Jr and the GPS uses Dale’s voice to guide you along the way. If you don’t want his voice you can of course change it to one of the other selections. The unit itself is really a portable media player with GPS functionality, it can do movies, music, pictures and even e-books. As a GPS unit it works well really, except for having Dale’s voice guide you, that can be annoying…

Mobility Digest Review: Airlink 101 AP671W 802.11N Access Point

by

Mobility is not just phones, but things that go with those phones. Most decent phones today have Wi-Fi built into them so you’ll need something to be able to use it right? If you’re looking for one then the smart thing to do would be to get the new 802.11N spec, in either a Wireless N Router or a switch. Chances are that if you’re reading this you’ve got a cable or DSL modem in your home, but you might not have wireless or if you do it’s only 802.11G as most are you get from providers at this point. Some phone today even have wireless N in them, but if you don’t have an N switch or router you won’t be able to fully utilize that speed so it might be time to upgrade or expand your network.

Today for review Geeks.com has sent me over the Airlink 101 AP671W 802.11n Access Point and Switch that despite being inexpensive has several decent features in it. The AP671W can be an Access Point, a Repeater, a Wireless Bridge, Point to Point, Point to Multi-Point or a WDS Bridge. The main feature that everyone should understand is the Access Point, this allows your devices to access the internet through it. One of the other great features of this product is that it can be used as repeater which means it can extend your existing wireless networks range. The AP671W is a basic product with basic features, it’s easy to set up and use and best of all it’s inexpensive.
