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?
Ok calm down. First of all, the browser on the Nokia is shit compared to the touch. The touch is a lot slimmer device as well. Sure, the Nokia can do more, and does have flash lite, which can't do everything that flash can do.
The touch is a great device, small, lightweight, with the best mobile browser you will find. Just go and try it out before you buy.
Your mom likes the size of my SD card and doesn't mind when I store it in her pocket.
