As mentioned, I was excited when I found there is hardware solution
for 3G to wifi router (Mifi)
The product is
Hua Wei 3 mifi e5830
http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/4737/3-mifi-huawei-e5830-review
But there is software solution too !! using existing nokia hp through JoikuSpot
just download from OVI or
http://www.joiku.com/?action=products&mode=productDetails&product_id=310
and watch how it works
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hNUE82rEB4&feature=related
There are pro and con (dun know until using them)
But it help me to find solution to last two obstacles to choose
between Archos 7 and Samsung Tab
It give non 3G tablet to "tether" 3G phone to use as a wifi spot
or in laymen terms
You use 3G hp set up as a wifi station
You can then use wifi-only tablet to connect to it - your 3G hp
and you can use enjoy personal wifi where ever you go
(when there is not free wifi)
for details check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiFi
as it works for other hp and ipad too
Next how to connect Archos 7 to 100Mb LAN ...
PS: I have recorded another blog on September on 3G to wifi adaptor
and it take me so long to realise what that solution offer.
Even though people will ask why not just Samsung Tabs
(But unless you can use it as a 24hr carried around hp)
I rather to bring a normal hp and another tablet as option to bring along
This situations already being around for a long time as
I notice there a lot of group of people carring devices of two worlds or more
as in Nokia hp with itouch
and iphone with tablet
and blackberry with ipad etc

Tablet for 2010 / 2011
Tablo Turns a Laptop into a Tablet
Oh I like her, maybe a korean gal, as in the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c0yzkphnFg&feature=channel
Er what I mean I like her company innovation Tablo as you can find review in
http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/product-guide/view/1158
BTW. I also saw this
I think Tablet computers have been around for the best part of the
last 10 years. I also do believe Apple have a little company called
Axiotron to thank for their iPad inspiration.
Axiotron actual do this
The top segments of the MacBook are removed, which include the
keyboard, LCD screen and iSight camera. A glass screen cover, a new
LCD screen, a sensor board, the original iSight camera and a
chrome-plated magnesium top shell are then installed. This is done
either to a new-from-Apple MacBook or refurnished one.
That's innovation !
Shame to Samsung who came out tablet Q1 3 years ago with foldable
keyboard give it up and then follow back Apple in Galaxy Tab ...
(to me too as I may get a Tab after I did not buy Q1 previously
and end my per-chase of a umpc)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Mobile_PC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Q1
and few company eg OQO has ceased operations
Last but no least tablets for 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCUHnjuM1oQ
and who will has the last laugh
In additional, I like the following website as it is a collection that similar to my wish list
http://www.techgoondu.com/
BTW As for the software, there is a saying
OPERATING SYSTEMS
Google Chrome OS is for Netbooks, Android for Smartphones & Tablets
Lets welcome 2011 android tablets !!

曾经我们国家有一批绝世电脑高手。后来都去美国了....(转) Xiao Fun
曾经我们国家有一批绝世电脑高手。后来都去美国了....(转)
高手, 电脑, 国家, 美国
1、很久以前，那还是我用win98的时候有次我系统崩溃了，因为我是电脑白吃，我朋友给我介绍了一个高手来帮我修电脑。
他看了一下电脑，问我有没有98的盘，我说没有。
他想了一下，叫我把固定电话拿给他，我想修电脑要电话干什么，但人家是高手，我也不好说什么，就把电话拔下来给他了。
他把电话线空着的一头接在电脑的一个插孔内，然后进入了dos，然后就开始在电话上不停的按着键，他按键的速度非常快，但是只按0，1两个键，我搞不懂这有什么用，但也不敢问，看了半个多小时，他还是不停的按这两个键，我渐渐的有些困，我问他这东西要搞多久，他说要几个小时，我给他倒了杯茶，就一个人去隔壁睡觉了。
醒来的时候，一看已经过了4个多小时，我起身到隔壁，看见他正在98里面调试，过了一会儿，他说，你试试，我坐上椅子用了一下，真的好了，我当时也不懂电脑，谢过人家就走了。
后来我慢慢对电脑有了了解，终于了解，原来当时那位高手是用机器语言编了一个98系统，我后来问我朋友那位高手的下落，我朋友说前几年去了美国之后，杳无音讯....
于是，下面开始了欢乐的评论
2、很久以前，那还是我用winXP的时候有次我系统崩溃了，因为我是电脑白吃，我朋友给我介绍了一个高手来帮我修电脑。
他看了一下电脑，问我有没有XP的安装盘，我说没有。
他想了一下，叫我把一张空的DVD刻录盘和一根针拿给他，我想修电脑要刻录盘和针干什么，但人家是高手，我也不好说什么，就把DVD刻录盘拿一张来给他了。
他把针头对着刻录盘戳，他戳的速度非常快，但是只戳深或浅，我搞不懂这有什么用，但也不敢问，看了半个多小时，他还是不停的戳着DVD刻录盘，我渐渐的有些困，我问他这东西要搞多久，他说要几个小时，我给他倒了杯茶，就一个人去隔壁睡觉了。
醒来的时候，一看已经过了4个多小时，我起身到隔壁，看见他正在Xp里面调试，还装上了office、photoshop、迅雷、魔兽世界等软件……过了一会儿，他说，你试试，我坐上椅子用了一下，真的好了，我当时也不懂电脑，谢过人家就走了。
后来我慢慢对电脑有了了解，终于了解，原来当时那位高手是针头刻了一个单面双层的DVD，在里面刻上了Xp、office、photoshop、魔兽世界的安装程序，我后来问我朋友那位高手的下落，我朋友说前几年去了美国之后，杳无音讯....
3、很久以前，那还是我用winXP的时候有次我不小心把D盘格了，因为我是电脑白吃，我朋友给我介绍了一个高手来帮我恢复数据。
他看了一下电脑，问我有没有备份过Ghost，我说没有。
他想了一下，叫我把一块磁铁拿给他，还问我D盘里有什么东西，我想修电脑要磁铁干什么，但人家是高手，我也不好说什么，就把磁铁给他了，还告诉他我D盘里全是火影忍者的动画。
他把硬盘拆了，用磁铁在上面画圈，他画圈的速度非常快，但是只有碰到或不碰到，我搞不懂这有什么用，但也不敢问，看了半个多小时，他还是不停的在硬盘上画着圈，我渐渐的有些困，我问他这东西要搞多久，他说要几个小时，我给他倒了杯茶，就一个人去隔壁睡觉了。
醒来的时候，一看已经过了4个多小时，我起身到隔壁，看见他正在D盘里面调试，里面全是火影忍者的动画片，过了一会儿，他说，你试试，我坐上椅子用了一下，真的好了，我当时也不懂电脑，谢过人家就走了。
后来我慢慢对电脑有了了解，终于了解，原来当时那位高手是用磁铁直接在硬盘上写数据，凭着惊人的记忆力将火影忍者的动画片都写入了硬盘，我后来问我朋友那位高手的下落，我朋友说前几年去了美国之后，杳无音讯....
4、很久以前，那还是我在玩WOW的时候有次我不小心把60级T1的人物删了，因为我是游戏白吃，我朋友给我介绍了一个高手来帮我找回任务。
他看了一下电脑，问我有没有找过客服，我说没有。
他想了一下，叫我把一块石头给他，还问我人物什么职业，我想修复人物要石头干什么，但人家是高手，我也不好说什么，就把石头给他了，还告诉他我的人物已经有全套的T1。
他把硬盘拆了，并把石头放上去用手在上面搓，他搓的速度非常快，但是只有搓到和搓不到，我搞不懂这有什么用，但也不敢问，看了半个多小时，他还是不停的在石头上搓，我渐渐的有些困，我问他这东西要搞多久，他说要几个小时，我给他倒了杯茶，就一个人去隔壁睡觉了。
醒来的时候，一看已经过了4个多小时，我起身到隔壁，看见他正在打黑龙公主，身上已经有T2了，过了一会儿，他说，你试试，我坐上椅子用了一下，真的NB，我当时也不懂电脑，谢过人家就走了。
后来我慢慢对电脑有了了解，终于了解，原来当时那位高手是用手搓炉石回档呢，凭着惊人的速度搓热了炉石恢复了人物，我后来问我朋友那位高手的下落，我朋友说前几年去了暴雪之后，杳无音讯....
5、很久以前，那还是我用电脑的时候有次我不小心把cpu烧坏了了，因为我是电脑白吃，我朋友给我介绍了一个高手来帮我修电脑。
他看了一下电脑，问我有没有买新的cpu，我说没有。
他想了一下，叫我把一张香烟纸拿给他，还问我cpu是多少的，我想修电脑要香烟纸干什么，但人家是高手，我也不好说什么，就把香烟纸给他了，还告诉他我cpu是inter2.8g的。
他把cpu拆了，把香烟纸上的金属溥弄成一丝一丝的往cpu上粘，他粘的速度非常快，但是只有长的短的，我搞不懂这有什么用，但也不敢问，看了半个多小时，他还是不停的在cpu上贴香烟纸，我渐渐的有些困，我问他这东西要搞多久，他说要几个小时，我给他倒了杯茶，就一个人去隔壁睡觉了。
醒来的时候，一看已经过了4个多小时，我起身到隔壁，看见他正在调试，居然cpu已经弄到4.0g，过了一会儿，他说，你试试，我坐上椅子用了一下，真的好了，那个速度才叫速度，以前的简直叫蚂蚁爬，我当时也不懂电脑，谢过人家就走了。
后来我慢慢对电脑有了了解，终于了解，原来当时那位高手是用锡纸直接在cpu上做电路，凭着惊人的记忆力将烧掉的cpu重新排了一个微电路，我后来问我朋友那位高手的下落，我朋友说前几年去了美国之后，杳无音信
2L的真相帝回复了：我算了一下，如果是神的话，第一个还真的有可能……WIN98按300MB来算，就是3*10^8个字节，也就是2.4*10^9位。我们本科有个哥们每秒钟能按10.2次，神人的话，按每秒10次计算，每小时3600秒，24小时*365天，7.6年就能按完……算上吃饭睡觉砍半的话，15年应该也行了……
还有个nb回复：知道我整这几个字多不易啊，拿个手电在光纤接口闪老半天，才弄出来的！

3G to wifi adaptor
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=5248447466
一、将3G上网卡插到3G路由器的USB接口。（如图示）
二、3G路由器会自动拨号连接3G网络，等待约15秒左右即可连上网络。
三、最后将电脑或ARCHOS 7家庭平板电脑连接上3G路由器。（如图示）
在购买3G无线路由器前一定要先测试，因为你所要购买的3G无线路由器不一定支持市面上所有的3G上网卡。
如果一直上不了网，有以下几种可能：
1、没有3G信号
2、3G卡没有资费了
3、路由器不支持此3G上网卡
4、路由器没有设置自动拨号，需要手动拨号

https://netac48.vie.hosting.nokia.com/account/loginUI.action
So I manage to only remember the tinkoh@yahoo.com
So we use that to set up our nokia messaging
too much nokia care is abt to close that I only recover part of data

Android OS edged out Apple's OS for the number-two position behind RIM 1Q 2010
http://www.npd.com/press/releases/press_100510.html
Android Shakes Up U.S. Smartphone Market
First quarter 2010 information from The NPD Group's Mobile Phone Track reveals a shift in the smartphone market, as Android OS edged out Apple's OS for the number-two position behind RIM.
PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, MAY 10, 2010 - The Android operating system (OS) continued to shake up the U.S. mobile phone market in the first quarter (Q1) of 2010, moving past Apple to take the number-two position among smartphone operating systems, according to The NPD Group, a leading market research company. NPD’s wireless market research reveals that based on unit sales to consumers last quarter the Android operating system moved into second position at 28 percent behind RIM’s OS (36 percent) and ahead of Apple’s OS (21 percent).
“As in the past, carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role in determining smartphone market share,” said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis for NPD. “In order to compete with the iPhone, Verizon Wireless has expanded its buy-one-get-one offer beyond RIM devices to now include all of their smartphones.”
Strong sales of the Droid, Droid Eris, and Blackberry Curve via these promotions helped keep Verizon Wireless’s smartphone sales on par with AT&T in Q1. According to NPD’s Mobile Phone Track, smartphone sales at AT&T comprised nearly a third of the entire smartphone market (32 percent), followed by Verizon Wireless (30 percent), T-Mobile (17 percent) and Sprint (15 percent).
“Recent previews of BlackBerry 6, the recently announced acquisition of Palm by HP, and the pending release of Windows Phone 7 demonstrates the industry’s willingness to make investments to address consumer demand for smartphones and other mobile devices,” Rubin said. “Carriers continue to offer attractive pricing for devices, but will need to present other data-plan options to attract more customers in the future.”
The continued popularity of messaging phones and smartphones resulted in slightly higher prices for all mobile phones, despite an overall drop in the number of mobile phones purchased in the first quarter. The average selling price for all mobile phones in Q1 reached $88, which is a 5 percent increase from Q1 2009. Smartphone unit prices, by comparison, averaged $151 in Q1 2010, which is a 3 percent decrease over the previous year.
Methodology: The NPD Group compiles and analyzes mobile device sales data based on more than 150,000 completed online consumer research surveys each month. Surveys are based on a nationally balanced and demographically-representative sample, and results are projected to represent the entire population of U.S. consumers. Note: Sales figures do not include corporate/enterprise mobile phone sales.

Re-install Nokia E72
Yesterday, I have to make a trip to Nokia Care centre
and at the end I have learned how to fresh install E72
Here is some summary
On PC
To do PC suite cleaner to clean up register in PC
To reinstall PC suite
To reinstall Ovi suite
To do a backup and sync on both PC and OVI suite
On E72
(Disclaimer: Please first understand the consequence before you do that as last resort !
Do not blame me if you do not perform a full backup before that.
Try to do other "software" reset using *#7780# )
To do "total" software reset on E72, "dial" *#7370#
(you will be prompt "Restore all original phone setting" So do think twice
lock code is 12345)
To recovery the last working status
Either
Fr Sync on PC and OVI suite
(If first option is recommeded, or a full restore is choosen)
These process is repeated until a full working copy is reached
Things to take note
All the applications download is gone after the hard reset
so dun do it after purchase some paid application
In my case I have spent $1 for one finance software
Please do a full-backup and sync in both PC and OVI suite
That is four combination of backup
Believe me, until Nokia settle on one complete solution
At this moment, for any model of Nokia it is advisable to do four operations before
any "total" factory reset
It is because, my problem this time, my Nokia messaging is reset by Nokia Philiphine
to detach from all my emails (ie Exchange, yahoo, OVI, hotmail)
At the same time, my OVI on PC fails at the same time
So to restore my E72 need lot of time as I restore each module at one time
So in the process, I learn the hard way
For example If i do restore in my case,
I will restore bad setting of not able to remove mailbox at the same time
So I can only sync back SMS in Ovi
(I can sync back contact after I did a full restore )
and at the end I have learned how to fresh install E72
Here is some summary
On PC
To do PC suite cleaner to clean up register in PC
To reinstall PC suite
To reinstall Ovi suite
To do a backup and sync on both PC and OVI suite
On E72
(Disclaimer: Please first understand the consequence before you do that as last resort !
Do not blame me if you do not perform a full backup before that.
Try to do other "software" reset using *#7780# )
To do "total" software reset on E72, "dial" *#7370#
(you will be prompt "Restore all original phone setting" So do think twice
lock code is 12345)
To recovery the last working status
