Cellular vs. WLAN? Both? Neither?

• Cellular
• Pros nation wide, handy, a variety of
  applications (GPS, etc.)
• Cons slow
• WLAN
• Pros faster, lower cost
• Cons needs a PC or PDA, smaller coverage
• Both can complement each other
• Seamless roaming (Mobile IP?)
• PC card with Cellular and WLAN (a future plan)
