I have somewhat limited luck using my Palm TX for web surfing and
it's inconvenient to use when it is connected. I have a IBM laptop that
I use when I travel for business, but it is also pretty old and clunky
to cart around. Since we are about to take off in a couple of weeks to
go to Oregon, I decided I needed something new to play with on the
road. I've been hearing (reading) a lot about these things, and I
decided to buy one and try it out: http://event.asus.com/eeepc/microsites/en/index.htm
You need really tiny fingers, but it works most of the time for
me. The weird thing is that I feel like I need a Barbie doll to sit
beside it when I use it. And I think that is the target market:kids.
$299 from Amazon. It's size and portability makes it worth it. Although I wouldn't recommend it for serious applications. |
