Santa Fe WiFi foe strikes again: sues neighbor for using wireless devices, lives in a car

No, this isn’t him, because the real Arthur Firstenberg (with or without a cat) would probably need more than an aluminum helmet to cure his “electromagnetic sensitivity.” In fact, this man — an active member of the anti-wireless group in Sante Fe — has taken one step further by suing his bewildered neighbor 25 feet away for refusing to switch off her wireless devices, which he claims has forced him to stay at friends’ or live in a car. We’d say just chill out, find some place in the middle of an African desert, and then fly out. Oh, wait.

Netronix looking to Android, 3G for its e-book readers
Google’s little green man has been getting quite an education lately, popping up in a number of e-book readers (why hello there Nook, Alex, eDGe). Not to be left out, Netronix is reportedly also looking to work with Texas Instruments on assimilating Android into its product line, according to company chairman Arthur Lu (via DigiTimes). Neither are bad trends to follow in this still-infant industry, but the questions remains as to when and how it’ll actually work. Also on the company to-do list? 3G and 3.5G capabilities, supposedly coming sometime in the middle of 2010. Bated breath? Hold it.

TomTom’s iPhone car kit promo video is enticing, but still no mention of price or release date

Not to knock cellophane tape as a method for in-car iPhone navigation, but if you want to use the new TomTom app in a more proper setting, you’ll want the official TomTom car kit. In addition to enhancing the GPS signal and charging your iPhone, it’s also got hands-free dialing and a speaker that’s (presumably) better than the phone solo for giving directions. At a rumored price of just under $200 with software, it’s not a bad deal if you were planning to shell out $100 for the US maps, anyway. We’re still on the fence, but the hypnotic soundtrack of the promotion video is admittedly alluring. See for yourself after the break.

[Thanks, Arthur]
