Theoretically, cell data is pretty fast. Unfortunately it is sold in fairly small amounts for fairly high prices. It also isn't all that fast in areas with many users and networks that could still use a lot of work.

That way we could basically have a very smart phone that is a computer... I'm not sure how fast the Internet on the phones are, but That would be very nice...

If the Orion can work with the MiPhi that would be great, as one wouldn't have to depend on the availability of other wireness networks, or by another expensive piece of hardware to connect it to an ethernet cable.

My hope is that the phone will be unlocked so that the customer can choose his or her own carrier in order to get the best plan at the best deal possible. Having said that, I have no idea if this is even conceivable on this hardware, but it would seem to me to make sense. Looking forward to all of the upcoming info about the product.
