Check your email from your beach towel

Beach-goers in Spain's Catalonia region can check their email directly from their towels, as the town of Castelldefels just outside Barcelona began offering free wireless Internet on its beaches on Monday. IOL reports.

"The connection, enabled by five Wi-Fi antennas installed at various points along the beach, will cover five kilometres of shoreline by the end of this week, and eventually extend another kilometre out into the Mediterranean.

The signal can be picked up by laptops, PDAs or any other wireless Internet receiver."
