Mifi thought

Here's a thought for those about to buy an ALDITCS: How about getting the wifi model without 3G? You save weight and money and time, and you could put those into a tiny "Mifi" device, which gives you a portable hot spot you can carry with you anywhere there is phone coverage.

This device can host up to five devices, as opposed just the one a built-in one can. So while on the road, your ALDITCS can be online at the same time as a friend's laptop, and an iPod Touch, or whatever, all on the same bill. Andy Ihnatko uses one, and I've just gotten one. (Haven't used it yet, I only get the sim card/connection tomorrow.)

It's not the cheapest bling in the world, but it's getting really good reviews, so I chose it over the cheaper device from "3" (I hate over-generic product- or company names), because that one felt very plasticky, and only works with one provider.
