Thanks: Gave 630, Got 420 | Poratble Devices with WiFi to surf the net - Advice please
The PSP has a built in web browser with WiFi which I could use to browse the internet around the house whenever I want. Is there any other cheap/er devices that can do this? Like PDAs etc.
Looking for cheap, PSP can be bought on eBay for £130 or so i think.

how about the XDA2i/2s/MiniS and their other networks equivalents.
Can also replace your phone and SatNav as well and also half decent for games (Mame for PPC) and as an MP3/MPEG player.
