The 1000HE Eee PC comes with a built-in quick recovery system that restores your system to its factory settings by just pressing F9 three times during start-up. With the quick F9 recovery process, you won't need any Windows CD or driver CD.

The unit is about the size on an iPhone or iPod touch and sports a built-in Li Ion battery providing hours of WiFi connectivity for most WiFi enabled devices. You can charge the unit via USB or with the included power supply. I opted for the optional car adapter so I can also power the unit from my vehicle's 12 volt "lighter plug" for longer run times.

I tested the unit on a MacBook Pro, Windows XP laptop, Linux powered EeePC, iPod touch, iPhone and a Windows Mobile Smartphone with a Verizon EVDO USB727 that is made by Novatel all with great success.

Basically the PHS300 allows you to connect up to 16 devices at the same time (I only tested 4 at the most) via IEEE 802.11 b/g, that is WiFi using WEP, WPA, or an open network (64/128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK). Like most NAT (Network Address Translation) routers the PHS300 includes a firewall and includes SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). I was very impressed with this little mini routers user interface and feature set. This is not a plain feature poor router. This small unit that is 4.7" x 2.8" x 0.8" (122 mm x 73 mm x 18.5 mm - weighting just 4.0 oz) has most all of the features of most home routers and then some. The UI is nicely laid out and better than many home routers I have configured.

The PHS300 is a simple device with one USB port, power adapter connection, and an on/off switch. Like many routers on the market, you configure it using a standard web browser. Browser compatibility includes Firefox, IE, Netscape, Safari, Camino, and best of all it even worked with the mobile Safari on my iPod touch!

I upgraded the unit I bought to the latest release of firmware that added my USB727 from Verizon (see the table of compatible devices below) and was up and running in a few minutes. The unit shipped "open" without wireless security turned on. So I changed the SSID, the wireless network name that is broadcast (you can choose to not broadcast one if you like), picked WAP for encryption, changed the default passwords and restarted the router. I had a secure wireless network in a few moments.

The PHS300 supports UPnP, ALG, Email, FTP, Gaming, Remote Desktop, NetMeeting, Telnet as well as business users needs like Multiple and Concurrent IPSEC, L2TP and PPTP VPN pass-through sessions.

How it Works Just connect a compatible data-ready cellular phone or USB modem into the USB host port, and the PHS300 will automatically establish a connection to your cellular provider's data network. You do need to have activated your device before hand. I activated my Verizon provided USB727 in my MacBook Pro with Verizon's provided software.

After connecting my USB727 cellular modem to the PHS300 USB port, the unit automatically connects to the network without the need for a computer. Now go to your browser on your WiFi device - computer, iPhone, PDA, iPod touch. After you log on you will be browsing the Internet. Like your home router, once connected you can forget about it, as you can use it whenever you want. The PHS300 has a small on/off switch to power it on or off and can charge your handset via USB or power a USB modem.

Speed Speed of the connection will depend on the coverage in the area you are in. Speeds vary of course, but up to DSL speed is available in many areas in many major cities. Even in my deprived area in my hometown I can surf as fast as the AT&T EDGE network. I even used SlingPlayer on my MacBook Pro and watched my FiOS TV connection. Check with your cellular provider for availability, speed, and especially the limits on your connection and plan. EVDO plans range in price and connection s usually starting around $60 per month.

Battery Life What makes the PHS300 a bit unique among EVDO to WiFi routers is the built-in battery. CradlePoint Technology claims up to 3 hours WiFi with Handset or about 1-1/2 hours with USB modem. Plenty good enough for my use.

I will be taking this unit to Las Vegas to cover NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) trade show later this month so my colleagues and I can share the connection for email, browsing, and the occasional blog post when there is no FREE WiFi available. My past experiences in Las Vegas with EVDO was the coverage in the city were quite good. It will be interesting to see how it goes with this light small device in my bag alongside my EeePC and iPod touch I plan on carrying in my bag. With so many attendees at a large venue like NAB all vying for cellular bandwidth, I am looking forward to seeing how this works. I will carry the small power supply to charge the unit and use it in my hotel room and the car adapter for the rental car.

This type of connectivity is great for business people on the go, emergency response, vacationing in a RV, or for sharing an Internet connection in a park or car.

So far in my relatively short testing period I am quite happy with the results and my purchase. I will be testing the unit extensively in "real world" use over the next month and plan on reporting my results. Right not however I say, if you need this type of portable connectivity, this router is impressive. I will further rate the PHS300 later this month after I live with it on the road.

The day will soon come where cars will commonly have connections to the Internet. I say why wait if you want that, get it now. CradlePoint also makes the CTR-350 Cellular Travel Router. This unit is a bit cheaper and features an additional 10/100 Ethernet port available for wired uplink when available, but lacks the internal battery. Weighting the same 4 oz, is even a bit smaller at 3.6" x 2.8" x 0.8" (92 mm x 70 mm x 19 mm). In my case I wanted the internal battery.

Now all I need is a portable coffee maker and I can stop going to Starbucks!

Cost I bought my PHS300 from Solid Signal for $169.99 and added the optional Cradlepoint CCA-3XX Car Adapter for $34.99. They shipped out the unit in the same day.

More Specs Platform Compatibility: Windows 98SE/NT/2000/XP/Vista Mac OS X, Linux, WiFi-enabled PDAs, iPhone and iPod touch. 3 LEDs: Power, Network (Cellular Link Status), and WLAN Dimensions: 4.7" x 2.8" x 0.8" (122 mm x 73 mm x 18.5 mm) Battery: 1800 mAH Li Ion Weight: 4.0 oz.

I was looking for a durable machine to get email, surf, use an office suite when I am not connected, communicate with Skype and AIM, edit an occasional web page from the road, and blog post. My iPod touch or an iPhone at this point can not do all of this. I needed portable, something that would not break my shoulder after a very long day walking an event. The MacBook Air was to expensive too take on these trips, although a very capable and light.

After looking at the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet and several other ultralights I settled on the Asus Eee PC 4G that I bought for $399. The Nokia N810 cost almost as much, lacked Skype with video and because of its size had a really small keyboard. I thought an updated iPhone with 3G would be a better device for me than the Nokia N810. So I will wait on a 3G iPhone.

The Tech Specs The Asus Eee PC 4G (designed by ASUS and Intel) features a small 800 x 480-pixel resolution 7-inch screen (WXGA), full QWERTY keyboard, 900 MHz Intel Celeron Processor, 512 MB DDR2 RAM, 4G flash-based internal storage (Solid-State Disk), SD slot, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), integrated webcam, three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, scrolling trackpad, internal speakers, modem port, and Ethernet port all in a compact and highly portable 2 pound package. The Eee PC only measures 8.9 x 6.5 x 1.4 inches. This thing is less than half the size on my MacBook Pro and almost one third the weight. Battery life from the included 4-cell, 5200 mAh battery provides up to 3.5 hours of battery life (depending on usage). Asus is now offering an optional 6-cell battery.

The unit comes with a simple AC power supply, a black sleeve case, recover disk, and a nice users manual. It's backed by an amazing 2 year warranty for parts and labor.

Asus offers several models of the Eee PC that differ in price and specs. The hard to find Eee PC 8G comes with double the internal storage and 1GB RAM. Eee PC 4G and 2G Surf lacks the webcam, a battery with less capacity and are a bit cheaper.

The first thing I did was order a 1GB of RAM (PC2-5300 about $25) to replace the stock 512 MB, small cost to get a little more performance. This does not void your warranty according to Asus and will only take you 2 minutes. Two screws are to remove the plastic panel and replace the RAM stick. The Eee PC features an external SD slot on its right side, so I also purchased a 16GB SD card (SDHC about $85). This should give me all the storage I will need my new travel companion.

Operating System and Applications The stock Eee PCs come pre-installed with Linux (also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP for the do-it-yourself person) and over 40 built-in applications. The Linux installed is Xandros (a fork of Debian) that has been modified by Asus for the Eee PC can only access a maximum of 1 GB RAM and this is why I did not install more. If you wanted to install Windows XP on a Eee PC I have been told that 2GB RAM is possible and probably even desired if running Windows.

Asus has done a nice job in dumbing down Linux for the average user by creating a modified desktop that is a tabbed easy launcher for the included apps. They have laid out the desktop that fits many main stream users and the small screen size of the Eee PC. Pressing Ctrl + Alt + T brings up the familiar terminal for the more advanced Linux user. With a little hacking you can easily add a "start menu" or move to a more advanced Linux desktop.

Applications that are pre-installed include Open Office to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. Asus has leveraged "cloud computing" with quick links via Firefox to web mail, Google Docs, Wikipedia, and Internet Radio. They also include Thunderbird, PDF Reader, Games, Media Player, Photo and Video Mangers, and apps to record video and audio allowing upload of photos and videos to share them instantly on Flickr or YouTube.

For communications they include Skype and Pidgin Messenger. With a quick software update under the Setting Tab I was able to update Skype to 2.0 allowing for video calls. Pidgin allows chats on most of the major messenger systems like AIM, Yahoo, Google Talk, IRC, MSN, Sametime, etc.

Asus includes most the apps average users will need. Due to the open source nature of Linux adding apps is possible and usually free of charge using the repositories that experienced Linux users will be used to. There are many applications to be found. But novice Linux users will probably need some guidance. I have already installed VLC media player, Opera web browser, Kompozer HTML editor, and Gimp image editor without issues.

The Xandros Linux being based on Debian needs to have files compiled for it, usually named .debian. This is a bit different than .rpm that other variants of Linux run like Red Hat. Not all .debian files are compatible with the Eee PC Linux distro.

These installs usually needed a visit to terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and using the command line - Enter “sudo bash ” then “apt-get update”, and then “apt-get install appyouwant. The Xandro Linux on the Eee PC does have a "sudo synaptic" command that will launch the Synaptic Package Manger to help ease the install of compatible applications. You can of course add repositories if you can not find the app you are looking for. Beware if you are not experienced Linux user as you do not want to install an incompatible package as it can hose the computer and you may need to do a re-install of the OS which Asus supplies on a disk.

Installing Windows XP You can install Windows XP on an Eee PC, but it will not be that easy for novice users. Luckily, Asus is claiming the next generation of Eee PCs will be offered with Windows XP pre-installed as an option. I have no desire to run Windows on my unit. I am happy with the stock Linux. eeeXubuntu is also available which is a custom version of the Xubuntu. There are also some other Linux variants that can run on the Eee PC.

Small Size vs. Usability Portability does come with a price of reduced size and that does impact usability. The MacBook Air excels in usability by providing a beautiful 13.3-inch screen and a full sized keyboard in an ultra thin 3 pound package.

The Eee PC's rugged build and size makes it a nice travel companion, but the screen size touchpad and keyboard size limits its usability. This is not the machine you want to work on all day for hours. Many adults will find the keyboard hard to touch type on and will need to put on their glasses. The touchpad is also a bit small, but works OK. I recommend carrying an external USB mouse if you plan a lot of use. The Eee PC will find a nice home in your suitcase. With its flash based storage a little banging around should be fine. This is a nice machine for many people on the go with its small size, weight and price being the selling points. A niche computer for sure.

The EeePC is impractical as a main laptop for writers. Jot down notes, quick blog posts, and answering email is more suitable. The screen is legible and good enough for viewing media, but will not impress most users. The new Eee PC models shown at CeBit will have a 8.9-inch screen at a higher resolution that should greatly improve this machine.

Asus has done a great job of providing connectivity with 10/100 ethernet port, 3 USB 2.0 ports (left side has one and the right side has two), an SD card slot, jacks for headphones and a microphone, and Wi-Fi all "built-in" NO adaptors needed. Apple can learn from this for the next MacBook Air. There of course is no optical drive in the Eee PC, which is fine. Apple was criticized for not including an optical drive which few ultra sized computers have anyway. You can always use a USB optical drive, but I doubt you will miss it, especially on a Linux machine where adding software is almost always a download. Of course there is that SD memory card slot.

My Experience So Far I like the Asus install and plan to stick with it. Asus did a good job in streamlining the interface to work well on the smaller screen. I think most average users will probably feel the same way. So far the Xandros Linux instaled on the Eee PC seems stable and without issues and cold boot in about 30 seconds. I did modify the Gmail link as it launches Firefox to the http version of Gmail. I edited an XML preference to change that to the more secure https page of Gmail as I use on all my computers. Information for doing this can be found on the eeepc wiki.

The included video player worked for nearly everything I tried except for H264-encoded videos - WMV (non-DRM'd), XviD, Divx, MPG, they all played fine. The audio player is also quite usable supporting - MP3, Ogg, FLAC, and un-DRM'd AAC files. I did add VLC media player as an option. Watching movies was adequate, not great as the screen quality is not that impressive, but fine for watching a movie on a flight loaded on an SD card.

Open Office is a full featured suite that I have recommended to users for years and more than adequate for most users. Skype worked fine even for video conferences on this hardware. Even though, I am not a gamer, I liked the included games.

This computer is no speed demon, but I am happy with its performance. Especially at only $399. I am sure this was a better choice for me that the Nokia N810 would have been. Even many of the UMPCs, like Samsung’s Q1 Ultra or Fujitsu’s U810 are a lot more expensive and lack a full-size keyboard.

The Eee PC's Wi-Fi had no problems connecting to the hotspots I tried. With WEP or WPA protected wireless networks I had no problem connecting and staying connected. What would make the Eee PC the ultimate portable connected computer however would be built-in EVDO (sure wish the MacBook Air had this). I have a Verizon USB727 that is unfortunately not yet compatible with this version of Linux. Some users have reported in the forums I visited that they were successful getting other EVDO USB devices to work on the stock Eee PC. While others have even got the USB727 to work for mobile broadband running Windows XP on their Eee PC. I am hopeful down the road I can get my EVDO unit to work with this.

The industry is about to explode with many low cost portables. The next generation of the Eee PC will solve my biggest complaint by upping the screen size to 8.9 inches and there are rumors of a touch screen model. If you are in the need of a low cost portable the Eee PC is worth the money.

Anxiety utilizes Leopard's Calendar Store — a new system-wide database that contains your calendars, events and to-dos — to remain in sync with iCal and Mail. Add, remove, or check off a task in either Anxiety or one of these apps, and the changes will be reflected in the others. Syncing across Macs is also automatically done for those who are using .Mac.

When clicking on the menu-bar icon, Anxiety will launch a simple, semi-transparent window, containing a list of tasks, that floats over all other windows. (or be visible only when Anxiety is the frontmost program). Now just click on the checkbox button to add a new task or check the box next to a task to mark it as completed and remove it from the list. Anxiety’s list is automatically synchronized with the To Do lists in Leopard’s iCal and Mail programs. You can choose the calendar to which a new task will be synced when creating the task.

You can decide to show Anxiety in the menu-bar, the Dock, or both when running in the background. Anxiety's strong point is its integration with OS X Leopard's own built-in to-do-list features in iCal and Mail. It is not a full featured To-do list and I think this is a plus for many users who are just looking for an easier way to use Leopard's already built-in features.

Anxiety is Leopard only and a free download. I am now using Anxiety to replace MenuCalendarClock for iCal, $19.95 as the developer required a new full priced to get a Leopard compatible version since I mainly used it for the To-do list anyways.

If you are like me and are always trying to organize your life and stop forgetting stuff, I highly recommend Anxiety as a simple add-on that might make a difference in your busy life. You can not beat the price.

Anxiety is awarded 4 out of 5 Paws< .p>

MetaX is a meta-data tagger for MP4 and QuickTime movie files. It uses a modified version of Atomic Parsley at it's core to write the tags. MetaX will automatically search the internet for movie posters and search IMDb for movie and TV show information (Amazon and Yahoo). MetaX can use your iSight camera as a bar scanner to a lot of the work for you. Scan your DVD barcode and MetaX will search for the tags.

Files can be added to your iTunes library automatically after writing tags. Your tag data is automatically archived, and can be exported to share with your friends. MetaX also supports a preset feature so you do not have to add tags for TV shows as you get each episode. MetaX includes a plugin found in preferences that allows you at re-write the tags for movies and TV shows you already have in iTunes.

MetaX can directly write meta data tags to mp4, m4v, m4a, m4b, m4p, and mov files. Other formats such as avi can only be tagged if they are first placed inside a QuickTime mov container. This can be done with QuickTime Pro.

I found the application to work pretty well and be very useful. I did experience some bugs however. The bar scanner did not always work for me. It could not write ever file I asked it to, but this is to be expected since the files I was testing came from various sources. Most times it worked well. I found MetaX better than the other tagging apps I have tried.

MetaX 2.3.5 is available as a free download for Mac OS X Leopard and MetaX 2.3.0 is Tiger compatible. If you find the software helpful make a donation to the developer.

Two other tagging solutions for the Mac are vID Infiltr8 and Lostify.

When you download Signal to a Windows PC or a Mac running iTunes this immediately makes your iPhone, iPod touch, Pocket PC or another computer a fantastic remote control for iTunes. This remote will work across the room or across the house. Nothing to install on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Once you start Signal all you do is navigate to the IP address of the computer, for example 192.168.1.100:3569. Now you have full control over your iTunes library. You can select playlists, search your library, select genres, tracks, albums, artists, etc. As of version 1.1 you can now even control which AirTunes enabled speakers to send the audio to, even multiple speakers.

In addition to AirTunes, Signal 1.1 gives users an alphabetic library keypad, allowing them to search by letter for several different categories. Landscape mode is also supported on the iPhone and iPod touch.

I bought Signal and found it extremely useful and responsive, even with my huge iTunes library of over 50,000 music tracks. As the music plays my iPod touch displays the album art . A tap on the album cover displays additional controls for multiple speakers, to use AirTunes. My only complain was there seemed to be no way to control iTunes Internet radio from Signal. Apple TV's running the latest software can also be used as remote AirTunes speakers.

You can download a demo of Signal to try it out. There is a Windows and a Mac OS X version.

Note: The demo version has all features enabled and no time limit. Instead, it will display a "please register" message for one third of the items in your media library. This limitation will be removed immediately after purchasing and entering a license key.

Tip: Install Signal on your computer that you want to control iTunes. Give your computer a static IP address. Set Signal to automatically launch at login. Set iTunes to launch automatically at login.

Now navigate your iPhone or iPod touch to the static IP address plus the required port. Example might be 192.168.1.210:3569. Now save the bookmark to your iPhone or iPod touch's Home Screen. Now anytime you want to fire up some tunes you are all set!

If you are looking for the ultimate remote for iTunes check out Signal.

1Password requires a master password to log in that will timeout after a specified time. In the 1Password manager you can edit accounts, add notes, or track history.

Autofill and Auto-submit Safari like most web modern browsers feature an autofill and password-saving functionality. 1Password is the steroid Autofill and form fill. It also auto-submits after the form gets filled saving time. Signing into a website is simple with one simple command, and 1Password fills in the login information and automagically signs you in.

Safari is a great browser, but what if you also use Firefox, Camino or another supported browser. If you rely on Safari's autofill, none of your data is available in the other browsers. Firefox's Password Manager only works in Firefox of course and it does not sync across multiple machines.

1Password solves these problems and integrates directly with all your web browsers (Safari, OmniWeb, Firefox, Camino and Flock).

Multiple Identities Use 1Password to define multiple identities, each with its own unique set of information. Next time you fill out a form, you choose the the identity you want to use on the partiular site.

Digital Wallet Use 1Password to store all your credit card information. During checkout, just hit the 1Password button in your browser and choose the credit card you want. The utility instantly fills in your payment information automatically.

Secure Notes Store bits of important information in a secure note and retrieve it when you need it.

Maximum Security 1Password uses “military-grade” encryption and requires a master password before you can unlock any information. By default, 1Password also locks you out after 60 minutes of inactivity.

Since you don’t need to type in a passwords or personal information when you are using 1Password you are protected from any hidden keyloggers installed on your computer.

You are also protected from phishing where criminals try to get your personal information by pushing a "fake" website that appears to be the correct one and waits for you to login.

1Password includes a strong password generator that will add a super strong password in a single click. This password is a long random sequence of numbers, lower-case letters, and upper-case letters that would be a bit ridiculous if you had to type it in, but 1Password solves this as you will never have to actually type it in.

.Mac Syncing Just install 1Password on all your Macs and use .Mac to keep all your machines in sync with all your information. A single user license is all you need.

To enable .Mac syncing you need to go to Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain app and highlight the 1Password keychain. Then control + click and choose to "change keychain settings," now check the box to enable .Mac sync.

Next time you sync your keychains you will be also syncing your 1Password data.

Import and Export 1Password allows for importing your data from other password managers. You can import you passwords from Safari, Camino, Firefox, or Flock. Their is also support for RoboForm and Web Confidential.

Palm and Treo support 1Password can be synced to your Palm or Treo so you always have all your important information available to you.

iPhone and iPod touch sync and autofill One disappointing feature for the iPhone and iPod touch mobile version of Safari is it had my way of remembering your login and form fill information making you type them each and every time. 1Password has now added a feature to securely sync this information making filling in forms on your iPhone or iPod touch much easier.

1Password data is saved in the bookmarklet using "448-bit blowfish encryption" that requires your custom password each time you want to auto-fill a form.

Tip: Use on Firefox for Windows 1Password's iPhone export is accomplished by creating an encrypted bookmarklet in Safari, which is synchronized to your iPhone or iPod touch. Firefox can recognize this bookmarklet. The Windows version of Firefox can also use this. Get your data into Firefox:

In 1Password, click on the Sync to iPhone icon in the toolbar and choose an access code for encryption. This creates the bookmarklet in Safari.

In Safari bookmarks go to the bookmark section and find the new item called 1Password. Right-click on it and select Edit Address from the contextual menu. Copy it into an email or text file and bring it to your Windows machine.

Now create the bookmarklet in Firefox. Name it whatever you want and paste it into the Location field. Select 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar. Firefox on your Windows machine now has a secure, functional bookmarklet with your passwords and other data available. I have not tried it but this would probably work on a Linux machine also.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or higher Safari 2.0+, Firefox 1.5+, Flock 0.7+, Camino 1.0, OmniWeb 5.5, DEVONagent 2.0, NetNewsWire 2.1, Netscape Navigator 9.0+.

Pricing: Single License is $29.95 and allows you to install 1Password on all your Macs for a single user. You can use .Mac to keep all the information on all your machines in sync.

Family License is $39.95 for up to 3 family members.

Small business license is $49.95 for up to 5 users.

Educational users can purchase 1Password for $23.95.

1Password for Palm is $12.95.

There is a free trial available.
