So, assuming one did want to carry a small computer (tablet, netbook, etc.) for email, route management, checking the news and weather, etc. while out on the road, (not for use while actually underway on the bike) what is recommended and from where?
I have a Blackberry smart phone and IMO it is a PITA to do just about anything with it except make phone calls and send text messages. Even getting a weather forecast is a relatively big ordeal. I can see wanting to have a small computer with an aircard and wi-fi for use in the motels at night.
I see a bunch of refurb Asus units on Buy.com, for as low as $200, but I think I remember that these are lowly regarded. I should do my own due diligence and search all of the various computer feedback web sites, but most customer reviews are just a load of useless crap.
