Fonera 2.0 goes for sale on April 21st in Europe
Yesterday we had our first in person presentation of the Fonera 2.0. It was in Paris. During this presentation I announced that the Fonera 2.0 will go for sale everywhere in Europe on April 21st. USA and Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan will start in May. The promotional price for the launch will be 49 euros.
Here´s a video in English that explains some of what the Fonera 2.0 does which is basically to upload and download while you take your computer somewhere else and to convert 3G to WiFi.
Here´s a video of the event. It is in my poor French which is only as bad as Emilio Botín´s English as you can see in this video. In case you don´t know who Emilio Botin is he is the CEO of Banco Santander.
The unofficial unveiling was very understated and included pasta dinner, Spanish wines and French Cheeses at my Paris flat in Place des Vosges. Nina and my two sons were there. In an informal atmosphere with discussed the pros and pros of this new product (sorry, I just can´t get to say pros and cons). Reaction of the unveiling in my Spanish blog was very negative probably because we did not do the unveiling in Spain but then the French have adopted Fon in bigger numbers something the Spanish Foneros still can´t stomach.
Here are some pictures of the event.
Here´s one of the articles that were published after the event that includes a comparison chart.

From La Fonera 2.0 « hep-cat.de - April 5, 2009 5:58 pm - #
[...] Am 21. April ist es für europäische Foneros soweit, der Fonera 2.0 wird auf den Markt geworfen und bringt viele neue Features mit. So besitzt der auf OpenWrt basierende Fonera-Router nun einen USB 2.0 Port mit dem zusätzliche Services ermöglicht werden, wie die Nutzung als File- und Printserver, als Torrentclient, Megaupload-/Rapidshare-Downloader und YouTube, Picasa sowie Flickr-Uploader. Das Device kann mittels 3G-Stick eine UMTS-Verbindung zum Sharen freigeben, mit gängigen Webcams arbeiten und bietet zahlreiche Plugins zur Erweiterung der Fähigkeiten. Mit gerade mal 49€ ist der Preis unschlagbar, zumal bei Freigabe der eigenen Internetverbindung für andere Foneras noch die kostenlose Möglichkeit besteht an weltweiten Fon-Spots ebenfalls auf das Netz zuzugreifen. Technische Details finden sich im Fon-wiki und das fertige Produkt wird es dann im Fon-Shop zu kaufen geben. [...]
