I have 28 books on my Kindle Library and I am trying to download them all to my iPhone.

Magazines are not synchrnozied though.

The list of what BWA promises to deliver seems to grow daily, and it may eventually transcend all means of digital content delivery. Time will tell if BWA technology can live up to the hype. Meanwhile, I am a flesh-and-blood example of his claim that “no single technology can meet all user needs”.

In response to recent promotions from Hutchison Telecommunications, I have upgraded my LG 8120 not-so-smart 3G phone to the Motorola A1000 Symbian-based 3G smartphone.

As a result, my quest for “internet any time, anywhere” that began in 1996 with a subscription to the Max Messenger wireless internet service offered by AirCommunications (a company affiliated with Motorola) is now being served by four smartphones running on four different operating systems: a PDA phone and a candy-bar phone powered by two variants of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile initiatives, the Symbian-based A1000 and a BlackBerry handheld.

Since I am a gadget junkie, I carry an excess of smartphones. But if four devices served the same need, that would mean three fewer gadgets to carry in my rucksack. It certainly goes beyond the issue of technology alone that I have ended up with four devices that are all capable of accessing the internet any time, anywhere.

Now that Symbian has finally licensed Microsoft’s Exchange ActiveSync, and Taiwan’s High Tech Computer has a 3G PDA phone in the pipeline that is BlackBerry connect-enabled, my prospects for minimising the weight I lug around never looked so good.

Finally, on the issue of whether BWA licence holders should be charged the same rate as their 3G counterparts, Mr Au states: “There has been no suggestion of unfair competition in the property market as a result of land being acquired by developers at different prices at different times.”

I suspect the risks and other factors associated with bidding for spectrum to operate a new telecommunications service are far more complicated than those that come into play when you are bidding for land.
