As a Verizon customer and PocketMail user, the demise of their analog service will throw a curve into my journal plans. I stumbled across a couple similar alternatives the other day. One is the “One Laptop per Child” program. For about $400 you not only get a somewhat hardened laptop, but a second one is donated to their cause. Another is the Asus Eee PC 701 at about $250.
Anyone heard of/considered one of these?
