Verizon 4G Netbook
A netbook is only as valuable as the network it is connected to. After all, it is awfully hard to check some email when there is no WiFi connection. Enter Verizon’s 4G network, which boasts speeds that can meet or even exceed some home user’s experiences with downloads of up to 12 mbps and uploads [...]

Ashwaubenon High School rolls out student laptops: fox11online.com Well, I was pleased to see a story about netbooks in schools, instead of the overdone iPad in the school story. After all, these are high schoolers, and if they are supposed to be learning the tools to be successful in the business world, Windows skills should serve [...]

Up to now, Google Android tablets bring up visions of a cheap knockoff from some no name company sold in the local chain pharmacy. Well, the Samsung Galaxy started to change that, and Motorola is going to take it a step further with their Xoom which they demonstrated at CES 2011. Following the strategy of [...]

11. May 2010 | by Jonas
Verizon lost out on the iPhone, and as the sales of it has skyrocketed, so has AT&T’s wireless business. Now, even if Verizon ever gets the iPhone on their network, it might just be a case of too little, too late. Besides, Verizon has other smartphone choices at this point, notably the Droid Incredible, which [...]

2. November 2009 | by Jonas
There is no shortage of carrier deals where you get the netbook at a subsidized price, along with a two year contract for the data plan. While Verizon already has netbook offerings, they are expected to add the Sony VAIO P to their lineup. Apparently, the Sony VAIO P starts at a “are you freakin’ crazy” [...]

6. October 2009 | by Jonas
I have generally found any of the netbooks that are subsidized by the carriers to be rather overpriced, and underwhelming. For the $60 a month they charge for the data plan, across a 24 month commitment, these things should be free, with a rebate, and I’d still feel they were getting the better end of [...]
Continue reading...Verizon’s Gateway “Deal”
By now, I think anyone with a calculator can pretty much figure out that a subsidized “bargain” on a netbook with a monthly data plan is truly lousy deal. However, with the profit margins they get, who can blame them for tryin’? Coming soon, Verizon will be introducing the Gateway LT2016u early next month. It [...]

23. August 2009 | by Jonas
I’m always on the lookout to see how people are reacting to the new netbook devices. One of the main attractions of a netbook is the affordable price. For not much money, many folks are able to forgive many shortcomings. However, one writer couldn’t get past the cramped keyboard: I tried out an HP Mini 1151NR [...]

2. July 2009 | by Jonas
A few years back, Verizon ran fiber right past my house. With that, the old copper phone lines, that I also used for DSL were oh so yesteryear. Since then, Verizon sends me a weekly invitation to subscribe to Fios. The latest one offers a Compaq Mini Netbook. It is redeemable via a coupon after [...]

25. May 2009 | by Jonas
With carriers looking to sign up customers to expensive data plans, throwing a subsidized netbook into the deal is simply good business. Heck, for what they charge for the monthly data, many think the netbook should be free, but these deals are far more advantageous for the carriers. It’s refreshing to see someone actually taking [...]
