Dell visited us recently to demonstrate gaming with their wireless networking technology...on notebooks! Yes, gaming on laptops is not quite as smooth as gaming with a DDR GeForce, but think of the possibilities when you add wireless LAN to the mix. Suppose your girlfriend drags you along to a chick feel good flick. Your girl could be crying over the emotional twists and turns of "You've Got Mail," meanwhile you've got game, truncheoning and tearing apart your buddy who's sitting in the parking lot playing Unreal Tournament with you. No wires? No problemo!
Dell is currently shipping 11Mbps-capable wireless LAN cards, using the IEEE 802.11 standard, in PC Card format for laptops and PCI format for desktops. They demonstrated their technology for us using tweaked Dell Inspiron laptops (more on those later), and we have to say, the prospect of mobile wireless LAN play is extremely attractive.
