    Are you becoming more mobile with computing?

    Most of us here have a desktop machine, or perhaps even several of them, but if you have any mobile computing devices, please tell us about them. This would include laptops, netbooks, mobile phones, various tablets, personal media players, global positioning systems, and other hand held devices.

    Wife handles cellphones. I can't stand em. My Netbooks fit in my Motorcycle jacket or motorcycle vest pocket. Pay phone is what I use or some body elses cell phone if I break down for what ever reason. Don't like umbilical cords (phones).

    1 Ipad
    3 Smart phones= 1 Android, 1 Virgin Mobile and 1 Metro PCS.
    2 Media players. Sansa Fuse and one other I forget the name or brand.
    1 Laptop (Acer Aspire 5532)
    1 Garmin GPS
    We use mobile computer more than we used to just because we have Cellphones that have extra functionality like GPS enabled directions to "Places Nearby". Cell phone banking and so forth.

    I barely use my desktop these days except for experimental stuff. Most of my work is done on my notebook and I use my Nokia smartphone extensively for scheduling, contacts, browsing on the move, etc.
    1. Nokia symbian smartphone
    2. Android based smartphone
    3. HP notebook
    4. Route 66 GPS

    I am currently on the look out for a new notebook and a tablet.

    I mostly use my desktop as it's difficult to use a low resolution device when you are used to 3840x1080. That said I also use a laptop and / or netbook when out and about. They are being superceded by my smartphone though.

    I don't really use it to surf the Internet as the screen is too small but I do keep up to date with emails and read a few RSS feeds.

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    I'm still riding my dinosaur desktop machines for the most part, but I do have a couple of smart phones that I never use for anything other than phone conversations, and I did pick up an Archos Tablet the other day. Otherwise, mobile computing hasn't crept into my life just yet, but I am trying harder to get into it. We'll see how it goes!

    I took a look at this and I am very impressed. May I ask price range please?
