I bought a closeout Nokia N770 internet tablet about 6 months ago, and
used it extensively on my last business trip a few weeks ago. It's Wi-
Fi reception was as good or better than my ThinkPad, and it can fit
into my pocket. The virtual keyboard with a stylus is certainly not
as easy to use as a laptop's keyboard, but it sure was nice not having
to lug the ThinkPad through airport security, and worry about it
"walking off."
