As expected, Starbucks is now making it easier to access free WiFi at all of its coffee shops in the US.

Toshiba NB300/FCC

Did anybody order a next-generation Toshiba netbook with 3G wireless and GPS capabilities? Because it looks like you’re about to get one. Sure, it might not actually ship in time for the holiday season, but the FCC has published documents related to an upcoming Toshiba NB300 mini-laptop and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s introduced early next year.

unifying receiver

If you’ve got a Bluetooth enabled netbook, you can plug in a number of wireless devices including keyboards, mice, headphones, and whatnot.
