before I start I am in no way conected to datawind
I have purchased one of these pocket surfers off the internet to be able to access this wonderful forum from wherever Iam .
As I am setting up on my own I wanted to be able to get onto this forum as quick as possible in case of any problems.
the unit is 16cm x 8cm x 1.5cm so can fit into my coat pocket
when you switch the unit on it takes about 2 minutes to load up.
pages load up quite quickly but using the keyboard at times can be a little awkward at times.
I have started using my thumbs to type with.
the unit will not play videos or sound it even struggles with the guiness smilie so this will not appeal to a lot of people,
but with having 20 hours of free internet access every month it does what i want (access this forum and check emails mainly).
another couple of down sides are
for the price of it the amount of access time you get it great. I have seen the small laptops that are in the shops now but you still need to get internet connection from somwere else.
after your first year you have to buy the next years internet access time and that currently costs

another couple of down sides are
- browser does not have a back button, so if you go off to se a picture in photo bucket you have to navigate back to the site
- You cannot print from this device
- picture quality is sometime a little grainy
