What do you think of a handheld internet device, somewhat smaller than a netbook? Datawind’s UbiSurfer and PocketSurfer3, a sequel to the PocketSurfer2 and the PocketSurfer, is on track for official release in the US this October. What is new with the 3rd version of PocketSurfer? An improved screen and updated UI, and most importantly in all this, the price: $249, which also includes a year of cellular usage (30 hours a month). The UbiSurfer, though, is a more traditional netbook style device. It’s not as mobile because of its 7-inch screen, which comes with a 1GB of storage, 128 MB of RAM and unnamed low-power processor. The good news here is that it also comes with the same plan as the PocketSurfer3, and tags at $199.
This little device is a good catch if you’re on your travels to Afghanistan on a crowded bus, or in Cuba desperately looking for a taxi. More is less when you’re on the go.
