I would like to pipe in about the wireless data connection.  I did that for about 6 months after I bought my laptop (different carrier) and it was miserable.  First of all, I couldn’t download any video quickly so watching any newsclips was out.  Even just getting onto the web could take six or seven tries, and then it would often kick me out before I could send email or post (oh man, sometimes I would write a post here six or seven times before it would "take").  Since it was my only internet connection at home, it REALLY hurt my business.  I finally went back to the Comcast/wireless connection and have been MUCH happier ever since.

Of course, I live in a city that has wireless connections in most of our coffee shops (even McDonald’s has a wireless connection!) and there is talk that the City will have wireless available in the next two years or so, so I don’t need to have the connection as much when I am out and about.  But if you are even thinking about doing this, think again.  The technology is not yet there, it is expensive and slow, and generally not worth the effort (and in my case, the ripped out hair!)

the catch is called clever marketing………..  read between the lines people……  if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is……………..

Good old AT&T is up to it again. Will that company never cease its long-standing attempts to defraud the public, and more importantly, those with far less money to spend than most consumers have.

Makes us wonder how this corp. has stayed in business when it hasn’t provided business for its consumers in years, and years.

I bought the acer one for about $300. It locks into wireless well, and except for my banana fingers the slightly reduced keyboard is O.K.

I use it mainly for my GPS.
