802.11n pioneer sets 'wicked fast' expectations for wireless With the IEEE poised to finalize the 802.11n standard, we checked in with 802.11n pioneer Morrisville State College, whose pervasive Wi-Fi network is redefining user expectations about what 'fast' means. Motorola unveils its MC9500 rugged handheld Motorola Inc. announced an industrial-class handheld, the MC9500, that builds on its best-selling MC9000 and includes a new battery management technology and a universal accessory system to organize space for charging cradles, power packs and cables. Apple betrays the iPhone's business hopes Apple's fix of a security hole reveals a long-simmering flaw and makes many iPhones suddenly incompatible with Exchange Odyssey to manage BlackBerry devices Odyssey Software Inc. said it will expand its Athena mobile device management product, which is used for Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded handhelds, to include support for BlackBerry devices. FedEx to adopt rugged handhelds from Motorola Fedex plans to roll out as many as 100,000 of Motorola's new MC9500 rugged mobile handhelds in the next two to three years for its couriers and workers in package warehouses. Need for speed: A tale of two college Wi-Fi networks and 802.11n If IT managers at two U.S. universities are any measure, 802.11n Wi-Fi networking has a bright future on college campuses. 802.1n Proves Standards Aren't What They Used To Be 802.11n is the poster child for a standards process gone wrong. Seven years after it began and at least two years after 802.11 "draft" devices arrived, the IEEE has finally adopted a final standard for faster, stronger, more secure wireless. MMS for iPhone works ahead of schedule for some users AT&T Inc. is reportedly making its multimedia messaging service available to some iPhone users ahead of its planned Sept. 25 launch.

Browsing the Web while you're on the move is one of the perks of owning a smartphone. The new touchscreen phones now entering the market are ideal for this job, as they're equipped to display Web pages on their large, high-resolution screens. Timeline: 802.11n development milestones Today the IEEE is expected to approve the 802.11n high-throughput wireless LAN standard, capping seven years of work. Evolution of Morrisville State's 802.11n deployment Morrisville State College deployed the first large-scale 802.11n network, well before the 11n standard met final approval. Researchers slam fickle iPhone anti-fraud feature The iPhone's newest defense -- aimed at preventing users from reaching phishing sites -- is inconsistent at best, a security researcher said today, with some users getting warnings about dangerous links, while others are allowed to blithely surf to criminal URLs. 11n Wi-Fi chip discovered in new iPod Touch The new Apple iPod Touch uses a Wi-Fi chip that can support the just-approved high-throughput 802.11n standard, though Apple apparently has not switched on the cranked-up wireless link.
