I'm considering getting this nifty little hand held for when I go to Thailand. Scroll down a little on that page and you can see the portable handheld sitting on a normal sized keyboard, which also folds up as small as the handheld.

It's small, but it supports wireless connections, and connecting through a computer with USB, and has 100mg of space, so I can do lots of other things with it like research and bidness stuff too.

And best of all I can drop it in an across-the-shoulder side bag and cruise around. The last time I was in Thailand many of the numerous sidewalk cafes were getting wi-fi set up (you know, wireless connection to the Internet, everything just "works" on its own!). Which is not a big deal really, because all this stuff comes in a box from Intel!

So that way I could just sit at a table, pull out my little computer, and surf all over freerepublic without worrying too much about people around me. Granted someone could still hang out behind me, but it's less likely, and let's face it, I'm not doing anything top secret anyway!

Here's a better image of the unit I'm interested in. And best of all I can take it with me wherever I go. Plus it's relatively cheap for all that functionality, just about $300.00. A year and a half ago I bought a desktop in Thailand for about the same, but left it behind thinking I'd gotten enough use out of it, plus I would earn that much in the first week in Taiwan. True enough, but these days I'm getting smarter, why earn the same money twice? If you keep it the first time, you can rest the second time!

So what do you think of this little Palm Pilot doohickey? Ever use one before?
