handheld device

[Daniel Marsh]

You can get a lot of HPC devices for $100-150, which support various 
cellular data access cards. I have used a HP Jornada 720 for quite a 
while with bluetooth and wifi cards. I have used both a T610 and a Nokia 
6620 for cellular internet access using a bluetooth card. You can also 
use a number of GPRS/EDGE data cards with it. HPCs make excellent 
platforms for in the field data entry. They have very long battery life, 
instant on-off, wide screen and qwerty keyboards.
