What _are_ the cool things Ian Goldberg can do with a Pilot, anyway?
SSL, telnet, ssh, xcopilot, a POP mail client and some more stuff. http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/pilot/
Even better, the Pilot is about the same size as the new Ricochet wireless modem. Keeping the modem in your pocket and the Pilot in your hand, you can run Emacs over SSH from anywhere in the Bay Area.
For those outside of Metricom's coverage areas, NovaTel Wireless http://www.novatelwireless.com is introducing a CDPD modem specifically designed for the Pilot. Their Minstrel modem offers TCP/IP data rates up to 19.2 kbps over analog cellular. Coverage in most US metropolitan areas is now available. List price is expected to be $ 399. and deliveries are scheduled to begin in late summer. --Steve PGP encrypted mail PREFERRED (See MIT/BAL servers for my PK) PGP Fingerprint: FE 90 1A 95 9D EA 8D 61 81 2E CC A9 A4 4A FB A9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Schear (N7ZEZ) | Internet: azur@netcom.com 7075 West Gowan Road | Voice: 1-702-658-2654 Suite 2148 | Fax: 1-702-658-2673 Las Vegas, NV 89129 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The courage to change the things I can; The weapons that make the difference; And the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people that got in my way;-) "Surveilence is ultimately just another form of media, and thus, potential entertainment." --G.
