1. Comment - Sprint Airave femtocell launch date surfaces

   T-Mobile's solution *doesn't* cost $10 extra. T-Mo's UMA-capable phones can connect to any hotspot for free, in effect using them as alternatives to cell-towers. The only time addt'l cost comes into play is with T-Mo's _optional_ add-on package where for $10 per account (thus $10 covers a whole family plan) they're not charged airtime for calls made via WiFi. Thus you walk into your home / school / office with WiFi and your calls can become unmetered. Furthermore since T-Mo only sets billing rates at the beginning of a call if you make a call from a HotSpot, then walk away, the call remains free for it's entire duration. But, even without any add-on plans the UMA-capable phones (some Sansungs, Nokias, newer Blackberries) can make calls via WiFi, no special service required.

2. Comment - Sony re-enters the glass tube business, with an innovative new speaker

   For those with deficient educations: Blue + Pink (or Red) = Purple. But frankly for a thousand bucks a speaker I'd want full blown LASER-emitting LEDs! Also, one kewl columnar speaker per volume doesn't mean "stereophonics" - it means *mono*phonics! Hello, 1940 called, they want their olde tyme radio music back!
