The mountain almost completely kills cell coverage. They would benefit from both these products.

You're absolutely right. We live in tech heavy areas and sometimes forget that the bulk of the US landmass (even if the population does) doesn't get cell phone coverage or even broadband.

Yes, he is...we're moving our next show shoot around to make sure he's part of the show. It might affect the day the show goes live, but I think it's worth it.

ooma looks interesting to me since I do not have a cell phone and I rarely use a phone in fact only time I really do is maybe a couple local calls a week and contacting family 2-3 times a week out of state and getting charged 40-70$ a month for my land line for this sucks..I have been looking into other options for a while now and this thus far seems the most interesting.

Good show. I think looking at both of the graphics capabilities in the virtual machine software would have been good. Parallels supports 3D but for me has been pretty awful and you can't really play any games on it.

I would have liked to seen maybe VM Wares gaming capabilities. Apart from that all good.

Thanks for the Helio reviews. I've seen/heard of them but never really saw anything in depth. It made me look into their local service. But I'm with Jessica. I'm going to wait until the design of the Ocean 'grows-up'.

In response to Jessica's thought of running her cell line through Ooma.... I made the decision to drop my landline and was hesitant to sing up for Vonage with their legal problems and ended up finding a bluetooth box (XLink) that lets me me run my cellphone lines through the house phones.
