Verizon Shares 'Any Apps, Any Device' Specifics
Kudos and Observation
Alright: I'm not the biggest fan of Verizon, but this announcement is VERY cool, and I give them mad kudos for paving a new path for wireless services. Very neat.
Observation: This announcement coincidentaly happens the day after the bidding war on spectrums ended. My guess: They won C-Block. The 50 state wall piercing C-Block spectrum is ALL verizons. I'm willing to bet on that.
All and all, this is very cool, and will open up built in wireless aircards into new laptops WITHOUT contracts to utilize the device. Pave the future there, Verizon, pave away.
I'm really happy about this, and I'm a Sprint user!

While I agree with you about Verizon possibly winning the auction, this conference had been pre-scheduled for over one month maybe two.
This announcement doesnt just benefit cell phone manufactures but other industries as well.
Think of this. A smoke detector company wants to market the first smoke detector that alerts your local fire department when it goes off using the EVDO network.
Now im not saying this specific example is going to happen but its ideas like this that will differentiate verizon wireless from the rest.

I wasn't thinking cells either. Take for instance built in EVDO tech on
the Kindle (small example)
laptops, gps units, cars, watches, health monitors, shoes, earrings
I could see this being put into a device for kids to wear to find kids if they're kiddnapped.
Maybe someday milk cartons will have it to notify you by text when your milk is bad. (if it really ever comes down to that then we're ridiculous as a society.)

Is it not working right?
I recommend the Jawbone. I dont own one but I have used one and it is amazing.

Let us know how it works, PARTICULARLY outside in a decent breeze. Most BT headsets aren't really ready for outdoors.Even the Plantronice Voyager 510 only works in a very light breeze.
Also receive volume of quiet people, not loudmouths.
Thanks!

so far, it's very loud, which i like. I'm usually having to up the volume on all devices I buy, but not this one. I've lowered the volume.
I like the ability to update the firmware on the device with the included USB cord. Haven't done that yet, but I will soon.
I love how it totally sticks to my head. I could probably do backflips and sideflips without it falling off. But I can't do those, so no way to test that yet.
My wife says it sounds like I have a cold when I talk on it, but others say I sound fine. She called me on two different phones.
We'll see. Still have 29 days to try.
