I’m writing this post from my PDA over an EDGE connection using Opera Mini. My main computer is away from me, though I don’t miss it. Only thing I miss is a keyboard as HTC Prophets only provide the on-screen type. I have been checking my personal e-mails, reading rss news and surfing the web with this device and I do not care about if there is a wireless ethernet connection or not.
This experience made me think why we need wireless ethernet anyways when we are able to connect to everything everywhere. Just bring 4G baby. Also since even a PDA is ok for me an Asus eeePC should be more than enough for casual use.
by the way, landing a simple robot is so last century. 21st century is being able to see photos taken on Mars from a mobile device by the pool in 12 hours.
