In-Flight Internet and VOIP On The Way!
The M2i takes the M2 one step further and adds USB connectivity that allows the floating image to be touch interactive. IO2 is very specific in saying that the M2 and M2i are not holographic displays. As the manufacturer describes it "Heliodisplay images are not holographic although they are free-space, employing a rear projection system in which images are captured onto a nearly invisible plane of transformed air." I'm mot sure how the air is transformed, but the thing is really cool. No mention of the price, which is never a good omen.
Now this is sweetness. IO2 Technology has the coolest sounding display I have ever seen called the M2i. The device projects a 30" diagonal 4:3 aspect ratio display into the air. That's right, into the air like a hologram. The entire projection unit is designed to be hidden out of site so that only the display image shows.
What happens when an ignoramus reads the Good Book?
Reading the first few chapters of the Bible.
Did the Lord have to destroy Sodom?

Linksys has finally released those 802.11g-capable VoIP phones that we've had our eye on for awhile, although they are going for significantly more than we expected, with the Nokia-esque WIP300 priced at $220 and the high-end WIP330 (pictured) sporting a rather steep $370 tag. As you may remember, both models let you do the Internet calling thing from 802.11b/g-enabled routers and support SIP v2 standards, while the pricier unit adds hotspot support and the ability to browse the web on its 2.2-inch color display. If you're on the fence about throwing down several hundred bucks for a handset when other solutions let you use existing cordless phones on the cheap, the fact that domestic SkypeOut calls are completely free for the rest of the year may help you justify the cost to yourself.
