Ramsey, *broadband devices*...a notebook type device, but would that be too large?... application is plain old internet access. No, I don't want to surf while driving (although I might if I was often a passenger). But I do want to access the net while I'm standing online at the grocery store, waiting at the quicklube, eating lunch at the local pizza joint, killing time between meetings in a hotel room, getting ready for a race on my sailboat [up to date barometric pressure maps are a real edge in wind prediction], and a host of other times and places IF I can do it without wires or long download times, at reasonable monthly cost, on a device large enough for me to comfortably see what I'm looking at, with input capabilities (voice or manual) that can be easily used, and in a package no more inconvenient to carry around than maybe a pad of paper or a thick magazine.
