100Mbs for the majority is great in the long run. But for now a much better investment would be in some significant capacity between Australia and the rest of the world. Unless its torrents/usenet I struggle to saturate my 10Mbs connection. For roughly 12 hours of the day even Youtube is painfully slow.
Most phones can do it with third party software. But its nice to see it supported standard, technically its not a difficult feature to add when you consider all phones have a camera and Bluetooth.
Having the ICE turn on and off won't be such a big issue, with the engine running at a constant RPM the vibration dampening system can be tightly tuned to that RPM. That combined with the fact there is no mechanical connection between the ICE and the wheels means the noise should be very quiet. There is some inefficiency in turning the engine on and off unnecessarily but the onboard computer will minimize that.
Shame 1024x768, higher res was the only thing I was looking forward to.
Hopefully this technology will make it easier to share wireless devices between computers. I'd love to have a keyboard/mouse that with a single button switches between phone/laptop/desktop. With more phones starting to support wifi this could be feasible. But then again there is no technical reason Bluetooth couldn't do this (or more likely some devices already do).

What Wi-Fi PAN really needs to take off isn't so much the hardware, thats been done. What it really needs is cross platform drivers with a well designed software stack such that the vast majority of devices don't need vendor specific drivers. Perhaps an extra layer of abstraction that allows programs to access these devices in terms of exchanging high level objects, alleviating the pain of writing platform dependant device interfaces. This layer would completely encapsulate the sharing of devices.
"With that much space, how many months do you reckon it'll last?"
The expected lifespan is measured in decades thanks to wear leveling.
Yeah definitely, got nice specs - but significant enough to bother upgrading from my current 20".
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
