Best Wi-Fi Portable Browsing Device?
foxxo writes "I'm a library worker, so I get lots of questions about our collection when I'm out in the stacks. I'd love to be able to access our online catalog and give patrons more comprehensive guidance without directing them to the reference desk. What options are available for a portable device with Wi-Fi connectivity, full-featured Web browsing, and (most importantly) no cellphone-style activation and service fees? Size is important, too; I need something I can carry in my pocket, not a micro-notebook with full keyboard. (And I am a library worker, so low cost is key!)" One device that sounds interesting in this category is the GiiNii Movit (not yet released, but shown off at CES). What can you recommend that's out there now?
That's a good look.
Nothing says "sex appeal" like a portable WiFi browsing device in a belt holster.
But there's no law that says everyone has to get laid, so go ahead. Be bold.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Now you've done it.
Every time you say something negative about Apple, you make Jesus cry.
Shame on you.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Is that the internet in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
I would jump any woman wearing a WiFi browsing device in a belt holster in a second.
Oh, I see what you mean. Nevermind.
I'm trying to figure out how someone manages to misspell "qwerty"?

the article is dated and missing a lot of information. I've re-added the technical details that some muppet removed, but the page still isnt all that useful.
Funny, I have a man's hands and I've not had any problem using the keyboard on an N810. Perhaps you just try *too* much to be manly and push too hard. Have something you're trying to compensate for?
Surely, you just THINK you have mans hands. or rather... you just THINK you have mans hands, Shirley.
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
He probably uses a querty keyboard, you insensitive clod.
First we had Fanbois; but they went out of control and we were forced to create the AntiFanbois.
But the AntiFanbois too went out of control, and here we see the development of the Anti-Anti-Fanboi.
I fear this arms race will never end.
They're probably using a Dworak keyboard. (forgive any misspelling-- i'm using Qwerty, obviously)
there is only the door, the door, the door.
Its the U.K. spelling you insensitive clod!
Dude... this is a librarian we're talking about.
All this means is she has to take off the belt holster before removing her glasses as the backlighting glistens playfully off her hair while she shakes it out in slow motion and two, maybe three blouse buttons come mysteriously undone revealing ample cleavage before the protagonist realizes that it wasn't actually the popular girl (whom, by the way the librarian had hatched a wacky plot to get the protagonist a date with, which turned out allright but in the end unsatisfying) he was in love with, but the librarian he was best friends with since they were six who everyone only THOUGHT was ugly because... umm... she wore glasses and kept her hair up in a bun. Bonus points if the chorus to Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is playing, but it would probably be something corny like this song.
Sheez. Haven't you ever seen a movie?
"Seriously, grow some balls mate!"
They are also too bulky!
If only they had thought of the Anti-Anti-Anti-Fanboi! The fools! When will they ever learn?!?
I fear this arms race will never end.
Which will result in quite some arms...
Soon, the world of swimming will be dominated by former slashdoters.
While it is true that no on-screen keyboard can ever match a physical keyboard in ease of use, I know of a lot of people who are quite fast and accurate at typing on their iPhones, I'm not a big fan of them either, but when you get used to them you can type decently
yeaf it[s grue - I am tyoinh on mu iPhone riggt now and I can ty[e p5etty fadt on tjis thing
Sounds perfect FOR A LIBRARY! I'd love my concentration to be interupted by the googling of the librarians
Put them in a pouch or tin. Keeps all the cruft out too (if the tin had sweets in, wash it first!).
Now you tell me! I was keeping my microSD cards in an Altoids tin. Then one day I reached for a mint and swallowed 8gb instead.
Nothing for 6-digit uids?

Isn't the capital letter filter just special?
