We are pleased to bring you the fifteenth regular installment of The Wireless Report Podcast. We'll be talking about a recent, dirt-uncovering "fastest wireless high-speed national network" feature post that pits Cingular Wireless against Sprint Nextel first up to bat. Remember -- truth in advertising is not just a forgotten concept.Mike and I will then segue into the need for priority-based emergency wireless networks with live, on-the-fly information being needed by first responders and emergency personnel. New York City and the U.S. Army are making great strides in this area.
Finally, we'll wrap things up with a semi-review of Immersion's VibeTonz haptics technology, which I recently reviewed. I'll be honest -- this technology may be the next big thin in mobile entertainment. It was wild, and very cool.

2:45 The Cingular Wireless vs. Sprint Nextel "fastest wireless high-speed data network" boxing match. See who won in Round 1, with more rounds to come in the future. Hey, networks never stop evolving, right?
27:58 The need for emergency wireless systems based on priority for first responders and the need for constant and live wireless informational updates to emergency personnel when disaster strikes
45:45 My take on Immersion's VibeTonz technology for mobile handsets -- this is killer software, folks. Simple "on/off" vibrating motors have nothing on this.
