I hope you don’t have anything else that ends

I got my Nexus this week, very much worth the 3 weeks of customer service flipping.
What do you think of it so far, John, and do you have any suggestions for apps? Also, are you going to pick up a 32G sd for it?
Fem2cell is connected to ADSL or Cable internet and makes a cellular hotspot around it, automatically picked by any cell phone as cell phones work in a way that they simply connect to the cell “tower” with the strongest signal.
This is the way Google could install free wireless broadband all over the world. Connect types of Fem2cell once the 700mhz White Spaces spectrum gets opened up and available for all unlicensed as the FCC is saying it’s going to be. Amazingly, those Fem2cells for 700mhz could be mass manufactured for $20, slightly more expensive than the cheapest WiFi routers. This would actually enable Google to cover a whole city with wireless broadband for just a few hundred thousand dollars. They would piggy back on existing ADSL and Cable connections, using Net Neutrality rules, ADSL and Cable companies cannot filter out the Fem2cells for building “competiting” wireless networks. And on top of that, Google can use its Fiber to add bandwidth, and the Fem2cells can even form mesh networks. That way eventually wireless broadband will be available for free all over the world. Do VOIP on that and no need to pay for voice and sms anymore.
Actually the AT&T femtocells are not for everyone. You can only order one if you are in a current 3G coverage area. So for the 90% of the country that is not, still the best option for improving your service in your home is the zBoost. I have one, it works great.
I’ve been running a Sprint Femtocell (also made by Samsung) for about 9 months now at home. It works perfectly and I’m very happy with it. Sprint provided it to me free of charge and with no monthly service fee since I am in a spotty coverage area.
Nothing here about Sharp’s intro of the Quattro Tv! Is it not newsworthy? I’d like John to look into it, and say something about it on TWiT, hopefully soon. Myself, I can’t see how having an extra yellow pixel makes any difference in the picture quality. The equipment at the other end still uses only three color gun technology, to encode the signal. How is a fourth discreet yellow pixel, extrapolated from the blue and green color vectors, going to do a better job of reproducing yellow. And what’s so great about having more yellow, anyway? And will adding the extra yellow pixel, effectively reduce the screen image resolution, by about 25%? I hope other makers don’t follow this trend, until all the facts are in.
I guess this is also just another way to create a market for newer Tv sets. As the digital tuners once did.
Real question is why Rush Limbaugh hasn’t left the country like he promised if the health care bill passed.
I don’t see what Femtocells have to do with this important question.
