I find that netbooks are now small enough and low powered enough (8 to 15 hours battery life) to take on a trip, but at the same time 3G technology is bringing the internet to all but the most isolated parts of Australia of which fortunately there are a great many. So should I buy a fancy phone with Next G and the internet? Or the netbook computer to use alongside my trust SW radio? Difficult decision. Wound up buying both. Oh well.....
