Good thing can come in a small and cute package.

D-Link showed off today at CES 2012 a tiny mobile router that appeals to frequent travelers with tablets and mobile devices, the All-in-One Mobile Companion (mobile DIR-505).

Coming with two prongs to snap in any power outlet, the DIR-505 is about a the size of a small power adapter a regular router. It, however, offers more than just an instant wireless network. The router features a USB port that enables users to share videos, music and photos from an external hard drive or thumb drive to any iPad, iPhone or Android device.

The router comes with one Ethernet port to connect to an Internet source, such as a broadband modem or a network port of a hotel. As a wireless router, it features single stream wireless N standard (capping at 150Mbps), a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button for fast network setup and SharePort Cloud for sharing data via the Internet. When not used with an external hard drive, its USB port can also be used to charge a mobile device, such as an iPhone or iPad.

Considering its tiny size and the high level of ease on the eyes, the DIR-505 makes a good device that you want to stick somewhere inside your backpack or a car's globe compartment for use when needed. It definitely doesn't take much space at all.

D-Link says the new All-in-One Mobile Companion DIR-505 will be available in April for around $75.

    As technology improves in the market, routers have also changed into something better. Industrial cellular router can also be considered since it is equipped with good specs.

The joy of Microsoft's 'avoid ghetto' GPS patent

Indeed, not so long ago, one lady  sued Google  because the directions its map offered led her (she believed) to be struck by a  car . Now Microsoft has been  granted a patent  that is designed to make its maps more pedestrian-friendly. Somehow, this patent has immediately been dubbed the  "avoid ghetto" feature . Someone seems to have already attempted a ghetto-related mapping exercise, in Ohio. (Credit:  CC JimBobThe Boss/Flickr ) The gist of it seems to be that Microsoft's GPS--which will  reportedly be inserted  into Windows Phones in the future--will use input from more varied and up-to-date sources in order to create suggested routes. Among these sources are crime statistics. Which has led  some to the thought  that this will somehow be an insult to poor neighborhoods. What is unclear, at least from my reading of the patent--which isn't written by anything resembling a human hand or mind--is what kind of crime statistics the GPS might choose to use. It's o

Microsoft says 'see ya' to CES (live blog)

LAS VEGAS--Microsoft has sung its  CES  swan song.

That made tonight's keynote address from Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer the beginning of the end. Microsoft  didn't make any major announcements  (other than the fact that Kinect is  coming to Windows on February 1 ). But then, the company has said the timing of the annual confab doesn't generally align with its product news milestones, and that's the key reason it's bailing on the show. Microsoft talked up Windows Phone (its mobile phone operating system that's been getting some praise from the tech press), gave a look at some of the upcoming trim ultrabook computers running  Windows 7 , demoed some previously disclosed features of Windows 8 (which should debut toward the end of 2012), and touted its tile-based Metro interface.
