Recently I’ve been playing around with remote desktop tools – to get back to my home network. It’s great having access back to your home PC from out of town -as that avoids the mess of trying to keep things synchronized. I try to put things on my laptop but it’s just more efficient to put keep things on the home PC as that’s where I keep all my data.
I’ve tried and used a few services and here’s what I’ve found:
Is it just me or is Verizon really going after AT&T – I’m seeing quite a few ads now that malign the 3G coverage of AT&T – and the iPhone as part of that. Verizon now has their Droid – a Android (Google) based phone – that from what I hear is quite a nice handset. Now those are some ads – they’re quite strange – kinda edgy. But what I see more of is that coverage map of Verizon vs. AT&T.
I’m actually on Sprint – maybe because I live in their home area – but mainly because it’s affordable. I’ve got my trusty Palm Centro that I only pay between $15-40 a month ($40 is if I’m tethering). They’re costs are pretty reasonable overall – Verizon or AT&T would cost me more. I think even if I upgraded my handset it would cost me more. Ironically I think when I travel I may roam onto Verizon’s network anyway….
