I currently have a HTC TyTN II, which is great for internet access while I'm travelling except that the screen is rather small when it comes to things like finding directions via google maps.
So I'm considering getting something else to use for internet while travelling. I have a laptop, but I don't really want to carry it with me whenever I travel - plus it's a bit big to look up maps on the go
I thought of something like the HTC Advantage, but they're horribly expensive; then I thought of a netbook, but the cheapest I can find is around R3500, which is more than I really want to spend (considering that I have a laptop for normal home use). Then I saw a PSP at Game and wondered, could that work? or maybe DS Lite? Are the screens on those more usable than a 2.8" cellphone screen? And what's the browsing like, is it usable enough?
The most versatile option is probably the netbook, but at the moment I'd rather have something cheaper and more limited (the iPad is probably exactly what I want, except for the cost!) Or is there a whole class of gadget out there that I'm not considering?
