Sprint puts out fact sheet for dual-mode U301 WiMAX modem, release imminent?
So Sprint just published an official fact sheet for a U301 USB modem with support for both WiMAX and EV-DO — it’s not accompanied by any press release or product page on Sprint’s online store, but we can only assume this means that a release is around the corner. Of course, the dual-mode capability alone doesn’t set it apart — the carrier’s existing U300 model already handles those duties with aplomb — but what seemingly sets the U301 apart is its support for Mac OS. We’d just as soon they’d release drivers for the U300, but failing that, alright, fine, we’ll take a new modem. If we’re sustaining over 3Mbps down, we’ll take a lot of carrier and manufacturer abuse, actually.

Chrome OS ‘Diet’ version fits on a 1GB USB key, brings more WiFi support

Not everyone has a 4GB USB key or SD card just lying around, which was required to run Hexxeh’s first build of Chromium OS, and we’d say that 8GB keys are exponentially more rare, which is what Dell requires with its build of the Chrome OS open source variant. Well, you can cancel that Fry’s run, because Hexxeh is back with a Chrome OS Diet flavor, which cuts the fat and gets the OS onto a 1GB drive. It supposedly doesn’t cut anything features-wise, and actually improves WiFi support since it’s based on a newer build — check out that compatibility list source link for the full story on that.
