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.<\/p>\n

Here\u00b4s 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.<\/p>\n

Here\u00b4s a video of the event. It is in my poor French which is only as bad as Emilio Bot\u00edn\u00b4s English<\/a> as you can see in this video. In case you don\u00b4t know who Emilio Botin is he is the CEO of Banco Santander.\n<\/p>\n

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\u00b4t 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\u00b4t stomach.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures of the event.\n<\/p>\n

Here\u00b4s one of the articles<\/a> that were published after the event that includes a comparison chart.<\/p>\n
