Wireless Camping Recap

Now that I've recovered from my recent camping “experience” at Sandbanks Provincial Park, here's wireless re-cap. For access, I used Bell Canada's Passport service (based on a Kyocera card), which was pretty good - certainly not blazing fast but it offered decent connectivity over Bell's 1xEV-DO network. I also blogged on a Blackberry 7250, which was fine although doing it by e-mail to Blogware didn't provide any way to use features such as hyperlinks or respond to comments. To be read blogs, I used Virtual Reach's Newsclip service, which is a sweet, little application. It's fast and easy to set up using a desktop interface. If you have a wireless device, and interested in reading blogs on the go, Newsclip is worth checking out.
