Wireless tests: taking it to the extreme

[Pilot_51]

I did a search on Slashdot for DS and found a report of a group that tests technology to the extreme, this specific report was about them taking 4 DS's to terminal velocity (aka "skydiving") and playing a whole game of SM64DS. I had to find out more about it and came across their website, which contains videos, but the BitTorrent tracker was unfortunately offline, so I did a google search for the filename and found a good source (which I'll leave up to you). They tested both PSP and DS to range about 300 feet if there wasn't anything in the way, that's about as long as a football field. This is a must see if you like handhelds or extremes and the 46MB download isn't a problem.

i got 235 feet in picochat but 300? dang...hey wait i know! they were above the cell phone towers *duh *hits self on head**

I'm not even sure they measured accurately, it looked like they just estimated from the visual perspective, in most of the tests they were constantly moving too.
