I got an email heads up on this from one of my nephews who is a premier computer tech weenie.
With all of our investments and most of our banking done on the computer plus communication from key relatives and friends via email, even my ludite wife has been saying we may need a portable device to keep up with the above during vacations and trips away from home.
We could pull up at the local McDs or where ever we can get a wireless access to the internet. Do what we need to do and check emails and get out of there.
There have been rumors that the new AT$T/SBC Yahoo would have something like this later this spring to do what we want. This may have been the basis of the rumor.
I thought she was a trophy wife,...chuckle....this technology stuff is just fascinating....and it is coming fast!
I am posting this on a machine I put together last summer with the lowest offering of the AMD64 X2 processor , 1 Gig of Ram and running Vector Linux and Firefox and it runs like a supercomputer.....nothing slows it down..... probably well under $900 bucks by now!
