Mobile Goodies Abound!

[TCC]

My Oh My!

I have been away from the site for a spell but getting back into it with this scrumptious post on a couple mobile ready internet devices for your use on commute.
I am going to lay down the cash for a Nokia N810. At Amazon right now for a mere $200, it is packed with features that you would would expect to see in much higher priced goodies. GPS, WIFI, full sliding keyboard and browser. Here is a full spec list:
Product Features
* Web 2.0 internet experience with Mozilla based browser, also works with Skype, Google Talk, and Gizmo
* 4.1-inch LCD wide touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard
* Stream and store MP3s and videos with high quality stereo sound
* 2 GB onboard memory, which expands via miniSD, and microSD cards (with a minSD extender) (but NOT with regular Secure Digital cards)
* Integrated GPS receiver
Processor, Memory, and Motherboard
* RAM: 128 MB
* RAM Type: DRAM
Hard Drive
* Size: 2 GB
Graphics and Display
* LCD Native Resolution: 800x480
Cases and Expandability
* Size (LWH): 9.4 inches, 7.5 inches, 3.1 inches
* Weight: 4 pounds
Wireless
* Wireless Type: 802.11G

As soon as I get my hands on one, I will be providing a review from a bus wifi users perspective and let you know what I think.

Another drool worthy device is the upcoming CrunchPad. This device will be a low cost and light weight internet tablet designed to do one thing, get you on the web. In my travels I have seen that most computer users have a machine that is WAY too complicated and feature rich than they will ever need. As such, the CrunchPad should appeal to beginners and light users that simply need a quick and effective way to check email, bank accounts and update their blogs and social networking pages. Not yet released, some beta images and video have surfaced that show the sexy device in action. I hope we see it this year.
