Intel s Mobile Technology Vision

Intel Centrino mobile technology represents the goal of wireless broadband: It is always on wherever you are, it s speedy and fast, it s ready for use, and it s convenient to use.

With Centrino technology, you can use your computer from wherever you are to beam pictures to experts who can help explain them (see Chapter 5, "Taking Digital Pictures from Your Laptop," for more information about taking pictures with your Centrino computer). It means you can look up anything on the Internet whenever you need to. It means these things, and more.

This book will help to show you how to make the most out of your Centrino mobile computer as wireless computing exists today.

Intel's vision of the future is that mobile technology becomes totally transparent and easy to use. Networks mesh together and are self-configuring. Every computer is a network node, and all devices connect to each other in a seamless way. Security is not an issue. We can all work together from wherever we want, and no one is tethered to a cubicle.
