I am looking for a cheap portable wifi enabled device which will enable me to surf the web and maybe store data files.

Have been looking at the itouch and the ASUS EEPC.

Can anybody suggest any recommendations.

Budget is £150-200

thanks

    Eee PC works faultlessy. You can also hook up a mobile broadband 'dongle' for internet access out of wi-fi range.

    Second the Eee PC. Proper browsing whereas iTouch is more a mobile phone type affair.

    Well , I personally recommend a PDA ,

    I personally use an XDA mini , it has built in WI-FI , GPRS and LAN , BLUETOOTH , INFARED. and you can save all files you have on your computer on it.

    It also has a powerpoint viewer , word and excel built in on the phone so you can view and edit all your documents on the go!

    Its also really good as its a mobile phone and has many extras including applications that you can add for free , camera , its touch screen , you can watch movies with TCPMP.

    ITS BASICALLY A MINI LAPTOP!!!

    seriously , i would recommend this. otherwise an EEPC :)
    :dance: I am great , yes I am :dance:
    :rotfl:
    :D If you think I was useful , Thank you, for thanking me :D

    Smart Phone's are good. Is your mobile contract up for renewal at all soon? I can personally recommend the HTC Touch Diamond Pro as being an excellent device, although if not, it's going to be well over budget.
