Cf29 1080p

I was just browsing and came across this

Broadcom.com - BCM70012 - AVC/VC-1/MPEG PCI Express HD Decoder Chipset for Netbooks/Nettops

I think it would even be useful for units that can already do 1080p. Since it reduces the CPU load, because the broadcom is now processing most of it.

1080P works fine on my 30, just tried a youtube video

 

I bookmarked this item a while ago
The issue is lack of mpci-e slots
I would help to reduce the cpu load on my cf-30 while playing blu-ray

 

would this fit in the pci express used by the WWAN card in a cf-19. I have never gotten a plan for it since $60 bucks a month for 5gbs sucks.

 

That's why I keep my at&t wireless broadband account, even though I do not use it as much now as I have in the past: "grandfathered" @ Unlimited for the same $60/month.

Better to have it and not need it, than need it and overpay for it!

 

No, it will fit but there is most likely pins not used on the wwan cards so it most likely not be recognized
Wi-fi won't even work in a wwan slot , it's been tried before

 

Read the fine print. There is a star behind the "unlimited" plan. 5gb monthly. Newer plans are limited to around 2gb. I was off working with it one month and went over with my unlimited plan, there overage fees SUCK.

 

well, if i were to replace the internal cf 29 wifi with this and then buy a usb wireless n card i think that would be a decent upgrade. i will probably give it a go and report back.

for my cf 30 i will have to consider, if i want internal wireless n or usb hmmmm

the new version includes better support for codecs. i assume this is hardware related and not driver, so i guess i will go for the new version.

 

just ordered the latest version

 

The "fine print":

DATACONNECT PLANS
DataConnect plans may ONLY be used with AT&T-certified LaptopConnect (PC Data) Cards and eligible AT&T-certified customer owned and maintained (COAM) devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access (including access to corporate intranets, email, and individual productivity applications like customer relationship management, sales force, and field service automation). If you are on a data plan that does not include a monthly megabyte allowance and additional data usage rates, the parties agree that AT&T has the right to impose additional charges if you use more than 5 gigabytes in a month. Prior to the imposition of any additional charges, AT&T shall provide you with notice and you shall have the right to terminate your service.

So far, I have never received such a notice, so ?????

BTW: the same "caveat" applies to "PDA/BLACKBERRY PLANS WITH TETHERING"

One other note: in researching my Plan I realized that my Air Force discount plan ia also applied to my DataConnect Plan: was $60/month - now: $51/month.

 

"Prior to the imposition of any additional charges, AT&T shall provide you with notice."

I never got any kind of prior notice on mine when I went over. Just the bill. Glad they finally offered DSL in my area.

 

dont know why i thought the cf 29 had mini pcie, it only has mini pci. i guess so much mini and pci got me confused. so unless i find a mini pcie to mini pci adapter or even a mini pcie to pcmia card it will not work.

i guess i will just use it in a netbook instead
