Hand held web browser
-
Well, my existing PDA is starting to flake out on me, so I've been considering what my needs truly are in this area. When I'm on the road I have my laptop, so I don't really need the calendar, nor do I care much about a portable mp3 player. Basically, what I used it for most was bringing up a web site on my internal home network so that I can control my stereo from any part of the house. So, I'm essentially looking for a web browser that's
- hand held
- wireless
- cheap
Any suggestions?

Well, these days people buy $500 phones because it has a cool 3x optical zoom camera (which they'll never use because they have 3 other cameras including a couple of D-SLRs) :-)

Yeah, even $300 is more than I want to spend, which means I'm probably looking for something that doesn't exist. Oh, well, never hurts to ask. :-D

I remember that dl.tv[^] showed a hand-held device running (I think) Linux and Opera. It was... hmm, before the MVP summit, so early March or sometime in February.

Don't you have kids for this kind of thing? When I was young our TV and sound system had two remotes; my sister and me. My father would point and say the channel, volume, command etc. and we'd do it. More seriously; got a mobile phone? Does it have WiFi or Bluetooth? You might be able to point it at your local webserver.

Nokia N800 Internet Tablet[^] OK, it's not cheap but at least it's a lot cheaper than an UMPC.

I'll never have the stellar, save the whales reputation that you enjoy, but I have done at least one thing for the planet. I chose not to reproduce (figured one of me was enough). You can thank me later... :-D
