I have just received a text message from an Unknown number, reading "Nexus metro agps-bgps" - wonder if it's at all related?

Very odd.

Hope to see the displays running as they should soon!

That's not good David. Although fortunately you can get a Bumper or other case from Apple for free now.

Dawn,

I think the problem is that the people who designed the wifi technology just didn't expect people to be carrying a access points with them and having such a high concentration of base stations wasn't ever considered. I don't know if you'd experience quite as high a concentration normally, even in NYC. Although having said that, if they don't ever release the iPhone on a network other than AT&T, everyone may buy an iPhone 4 and a MiFi to use it on another network! ;-)

Rob,

All these companies end up copying each other to a certain extent. I liked the response from Microsoft Europe on Twitter: http://twitter.com/MSEurope/status/15838998934

Glad to hear you like the blog. :-)

What happens in the real world when you're hurrying down the sidewalk in NYC, or some other metro area with 600 wireless devices/base stations around you, and you've gotta access critical information--right now. This is just the type of situation you bought the device for, right?

If Steve Jobs had trouble getting 600 paying customers to turn off all of their wifi equipment, imagine what an issue it would be for us little folk. Just one more reason I'm not in love with wireless. Wireless does have it's place, but it does not belong everywhere.

Can I really invest a lot of money in a device that might work--depending on lots of factors ourside my control? We are entirely too "wireless happy!" If everybody buys one, the nature the technology itself will bring it's own demise.

They're just based on averages. It's more indicative than it is precise.
