You mean, like an internet tablet? How about a Nokia N800...somewhere
just above about $200
But even better the new Nokia N810. Less than half the volume of the
N800...in fact, its width is just less than that of my HewlettPackard
HP-48GX, it's 1/2 inch thick instead of over 3/4" and it reaches only
to the bottom of the screen on the HP....
And yesterday, in a downtown Toronto office tower, it picked up 32 wifi
signals...amazingly over half were unlocked.
Even has a nice built in stand, so it will sit at the correct reading
angle, just like your laptop's screen. And it has a keyboard and
bluetooth. Makes a great MP3 player, and will do video. And has a
built-in GPS.
