I find it hard to swallow, myself. When I came home from the country, two
days ago, I was listening to KSEY in Seymour, Texas, playing texas swing
and cowboy music while Maemo Mapper was displaying my position precisely in
the lane of the roads I was driving down, downloading more mosaic squares
of satellite photos overlaid with street/road names from the server, on
Alltel's archaic EVDO broadband, which blankets Eastern SC quite well.
As you may guess, I'm no fan of sellphone carriers, but it serves its
purpose at times like these until something better comes along.....
Data actually flows better in the boondocks because I don't have to compete
with other users for EVDO service, I suppose.
