When I travel, all I do pretty much is check various mail accounts, crunch statistics, make some notes about who I talked to and what we arrived at, look at my sites to make sure updates etc are happening as scheduled, and check the message boards I moderate.
So it’s not heavy use and I usually only go to conferences. My little netbook does fine, but I am not happy with the display, my eyes are getting old I am afraid. And while it says it’s battery lasts 8 hours, it only lasts 5. Door to door most trips are like 24 hours, the longest ride in one plane being 11 hours.
I do use USB memory keys to carry various stuff with me that I don’t want to keep updated on the little book.
So my requirements for that purpose are not that huge, and storing a book in there to read on the plane, and perhaps a movie and of course my music would make it a convenient, small, lightweight little gadget I can stick in my purse for travelling. Everything in one place, now I carry a book and the net book and an ipod…
So how big is this USB connector and how easy is it to connect?
