I have to agree with JustinTime. During katrina the city's Wi-Fi was the only thing working (until it finally shut down), while all other network communications were down for days. Emails and IM's was my only means of communications to the outside world. Also, I travel overseas alot and it's great to get emails, IM's and surfing the net using Wi-Fi while flying. It costs a flat rate per travel but its worth it on a 10 to 14 hour flight. While in other country's, you can use free Wi-Fi hotspots to save money instead of using overseas networks to communicate (emails, IM's). I will never buy another cell without Wi-Fi no matter what network its on.....
Blackberry up and running since 09:36 this morning. Email and Internet(8700c on Cingular). Good Luck everyone!!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
