My solution to making sure I had access to everything while I spent six weeks in China was remote desktop. I found very few places I couldn't get to (and am guessing that many things will be "fixed" for the Olympics, but having that as a backup was priceless. It meant having a computer on at home in the US, but it was worth it. > Another thing. Can I upload videos to Blip.tv, without much > trouble? (are there bandwidth issues? I know someone in New > Zealand, who has trouble watching videos hosted in the US). I uploaded videos from China to several services with no problem. > I like the email w/attachment (picture or video) solution. I have no > idea about cellphone accessibility in China, anyone know? It's not 3G but service seems to be everywhere. > > I'm sure there is coverage, but what about data & email attachments? > I have a contact in China (travel agent who speaks good English, who > is making a lot of travel arrangements for me: hotel w/Internet > access, etc), who is researching the pre-paid SIM card (which > includes a good data package). Anytime I wanted "real" data service I reverted to Internet access from a PC because it was slow otherwise, but there were a couple of times where I looked up sites from the back of a cab to get the cab driver written addresses for where I wanted to go.
