Welcome to my new gadgets and geekery weblog. Now a distinct area within my larger <a href="http://www.sorcerers-isle.net">Sorcerer's Isle</a> weblog, 100% Geek covers gadgets, gaming, technology, tinkering, and any other random ramblings I feel like throwing in here. 3G Broadband

<p>Back in December I contacted Peak support to ask if they knew when OSX drivers would be ready for the Elan u132 (PCMCIA/CardBus->USB) adapter would be available &mdash; since the Elan website was claiming they would be released in December. (Since I had received no reply from Elan themselves, and Peak are Elan resellers)</p> <p>I received a nice quick reply saying that the release date has been pushed back to the second quarter of 2007. Annoying, but not much I could do about it.</p> <p>Well, now it is the second quarter of 2007, so I emailed the person who had responded to my original query, and again received a nice quick reply...</p>

<p>For over two years now I haven't had personal broadband Internet access. In April I got an XDA Mini S, which promoted me from horrificly basic WAP to painful GPRS access. It was a huge freedom being able to access the web over the weekend, but it is slow, expensive, and there is an appauling choice of browsers for Windows Mobile.<br/> My insanity has been held at bay by being able to stay after work and catch up on things, but I've still not been able to play online games, download large files, listen to streaming music, and so on.</p> <p>Soon most of this will be over, when I finally get broadband access, via high-speed 3G from Vodafone. It will still be relatively expensive and I still won't be able to download large files, but at least I can turn images back on, browse more than three pages at a time, and not have to wait for ages just for a simple page to load.</p> <p><small>(Last Updated Monday 2nd October)</small></p>
