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.
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"?

He probably uses a querty keyboard, 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!
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?
