Finally, a Mini Notebook that has built in 3G. This is how it should be done. After various hacks to squeeze the HSDPA unit into the Asus machines, LG have put one directly to their new small laptop.

I haven't had much luck with their customer service for monitors mind you, but perhaps the laptop department is better?

Using the radio tower that's suppling the phone signal, Google's software (downloaded and installed to your smart phone) can then work out roughly where you are. It will incur data costs if your mobile contract doesn't include Internet downloads. But when you're trying to find a street it really is a great way to find the information.

Netgear have raised a product recall for it's Powerline series of adapters. If your unit is a XE103, enter your serial number here to check. Worth doing when dealing with "mains" power I always say in these Ethernet over power socket type situations.
