Wibro Egg (4G MiFi) Launched in South Korea!

WiBro Egg, a wifi-tethering device using WiBro (which is like 4G WiMax pretty much), has been launched in South Korea.   Think of it as the MiFi device, except it’s about 10 times faster.

According to the test reports, it’s doing about 8Mbps down and 4Mbps up, not too shabby.

I know Sprint already has a “giant” 4G hotspot device, hopefully they will be adding smaller ones like this later this year.

Here’s a demo video of the device (in Korean):

TG Sambo, a computer/laptop manufacturer in South Korea, launches its new TS-52C with Intel i5, nVidia G310M, and multi-touch touchpad.  This setup is very similar to the upcoming ASUS UL30Jt, which I am still waiting on for months since CES 2010 to get my hands on.

Of course, the TS-52C will never make it outside South Korea but I believe one day TG Sambo might start selling their laptops internationally.

Wanna make a good first-time impression at your dream engineering job?  Try this PCB business card that can be converted into a USB flash drive!

The main purpose of the card is to work as an USB memory.
