Considering I can have a really *good* high-end hand-help Cellular
phone by Nokia for $400 with Data port, then buy an AT&T PCMCIA card modem
for--oh, $250-ish now, and the associated connection materials at $50 to
$100...yeah, the IBM Model is about 2x overpriced.
The only people buying them are mega-bureaucrats. I wonder how
much time will pass before they bring those down to $400 like the TV
tuner? At that price, I'm tempted to buy a TV tuner--looks like a pretty
which & easy way to get a portable TV, if you ask me. :)
