The Ultimate WiFi Base Station Covers 1km Range

Note:  Found this piece at MobileMag covering this new high-end wireless access point that has a pretty impressive range. 
 
" 
I'd imagine ideas like this would be great for cities like San Francisco that are getting city-wide WiFi coverage, because the Etri access point boasts a range of up to 1 kilometer (that's about 3/5 of a mile). Keep in mind that this is a range, meaning that the radius is 1 kilometer, and -- if my high school math is correct -- the effective coverage area is the neighbourhood of 3.14 square kilometers, or about 2 square miles."

Ricoh Releases the 500SE GPS-Ready Digital Camera

Note:  I would use one of these cameras for sure.  Having locational information tagged too my photos would be nice for keeping track of places I visit, especially if I could have them automatically upload to a website.  Nice to read it also supports wifi and bluetooh.  I won't go into the types of possible abuses can happen when images have positional data here.  It sounds like a pretty sweet camera and we should see more hitting the market in the coming months. 
 
Ricoh releases the 500SE integrated with GPS technology.  Developed for outdoor location-based photography, the 500SE boasts extreme ruggedization and high resolution for all-weather usability demanded by mobile GPS photographing.
