"Its Engadget's SHOUT and they are giving away Mobiles"

So long sad old Ericsson T39m
Maybe a Online Basic type Office never a PC Apologies for the length If Google released was to release a PC sponsored with the Adsense program, you would end up splitting the fragmented computer user experience even further. At present we have the Windows, Apple and Linux users and the mud throwing at each other for who has the best operating system. Bring into the discussion the Microsoft Xbox and the Sony Playstation and we have another form of computational experience. It was only a matter of days from the release of the Xbox 360 and people were getting Linux boot discs operational on it much to the dislike of Microsoft. If a PC were to be released with high power specifications and subsidised by Google and the Adsense program it will make my next upgrade very cheap. I for one would instantly be looking at finding a way to get Windows up and running on it. I would then start trying Apple OS and thirdly Linux. I know I would be hacking this to bits to be able to use the computational device in a manner that I choose to operate it. Computers and the continual growth that has been created by great pieces of software over the years is what has driven this growth. If you lock down an OS to be even more limited than the current offerings it will fail, and fail quickly. I can already see a BartsPE disk using the Microsoft PE and Linux combination having a role to play here. I can see a point in here that it just not Geeks who use computers and projects like the $100 laptop project make a Google OS a great idea except do we really want to send 'Viagra' ad's to the heart of Africa on such devices. In the end if the consumer wants a device like a FM radio and does just that it will do it. If you want your computer to be able to be creative a Google OS would fail miserably because you cannot change anything. The internet is realistically only a part of the computer world and not the whole computer world.
If there is WiFi there can we get an upstream from say a Skype connection to someone in the room.....
Searching for a link....
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
