Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
is there something else better and/or cheaper we should consider also?
A PDA with WiFi? Like the Palm TX?
Nintendo DS Lite with Opera browser cartridge?
eta: Re: DS Lite - someone said:
While it may seem simply too outrageous to consider, I just (very successfully) logged in to my AdSense account using my son's Nintendo DS Lite with the relatively new Opera (for devices) browser cartridge.
No additional settings were required other than to get connected to the wireless router.
Browser usability has fairly serious limitations from the standpoint of limited screen size, minimal memory and processing speed but... it IS a serviceable wifi tool for certain applications.
Actually the screen size is larger than most phones and it's certainly easier than hauling a laptop around if you just want to "poke" at the web a bit. All for about $150!
Nokia N800 internet tablet?
Ooh - that's pretty awesome. Although for $299, I'd rather have an iPod touch ($299 and $399).
Unlike the iTouch, you can get it for less than list.
Oh, cool.
I've been wanting some tiny portable mini-computer thingie with WiFi for awhile now. If I get such a thing I'll have to consider the N800.
flea, I think the nokia suggestion is a good one. I bet that librarians would want a keyboard.
I was just looking at my wishlist this morning and it lists the city and state (maybe zip code too) but doesn't list the actual street information.
Thanks, Stephanie. I took a look and you are right - the actual street address isn't included, which is all I wanted. It might have helped to actually look at the address, huh?
OH! I get it now. See, my brain saw "address" and went "URL" and now I feel totally dumb.
Oops. Sorry for the pointless "help" there GC.
Favorite RSS aggregators? My neighbor loves the concept but isn't digging the Google Reader much.
(Me, I'm loving NetNewsWire Lite. So beautifully Maccish! And now I'm using Mail to access the IMAP G-mail. It's so nice.)
I love google reader. especially given that google gears will allow you to read google reader offline.
