Why can't it be easier to print on networks that you don't have regular access to or transfer files among mobile devices like iPhones? Why is it such a pain to create secure, robust networks with colleagues or friends on the fly using 3G mobile broadband as the Internet connection? A new wireless networking system, Wi-Fi Direct, will soon help Mac users do all that and more. It lets any wireless device maintain a connection to a network base station while also communicating directly with other devices that aren't on the same network. And it's (probably) coming soon. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/86092/what-mac-users-need-know-about-wi-fi-direct#comments Mobile & wireless Networking News Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:40:00 -0500 ITworld staff 86092 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/business-intelligence/86089/increase-productivity-by-providing-notebooks-beyond-the-road-warriors Forrester studied the impact of expanding notebook deployment to more employees.
