I suppose they will be available via EasyPay as an accessory too?

When do we get the Area 51 flying drone that we can use to buzz Josh in Pahrump?

I wonder what they are considering the "target-market" for these?

 

If the price is right I could see this being a great Xmas gift for a kid.

 

Is there something business related that people could/would buy these for?

probably target market of ages 10 to 25 +10 years - 2 years.  They are just trying to pull in more families, perhaps branch out to the more tech hungry consumers.  Perhaps who want to use these as security cams/potential fun.  I don't know.  I would love to see their marketing plan as well.  Bet its pretty sweet :)  I wonder if they have a cell antenna built in or if its just wifi.  also wonder if its going to be another service cost if so.  or free to current customers to use, just have to pay for the device.

I want the one that can fly. Just too bad it's battery life sucks while flying. I wonder if that battery is upgrade able?

I'm sure ifixit will probably get their hands on one. Or you could be adventurous yourself;).

I'll wait for iFixit to figure it out.

Believe it or not but 8 minutes is better than average flying time for a micro quad copter. One hour charge time is terrible though.

gotta keep in mind it may weight it down a bit tho...  So you gotta evenly distribute the weight.  But my question is what makes this one any better than previous drones?

      Network Vision/LTE - Northern Jersey Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.
