Portable Internet - help me choose the best option

[Paul Robbins]

I'm trying to get myself up to date with internet access/use. One step was to start using dual screens on my PC, described here.

Now I'm looking for a portable device to access the internet when I'm on the move. I was thinking about Apple's iPad, but I read that it doesn't support Flash and so a lot of web content is lost to iPad users.

Does anyone have any ideas? What do you think is the best portable option for internet use?

From everything I've seen the Samsung Galaxy Tab looks pretty cool. Basically it can do the same as an iPad PLUS it supports flash and its got a camera too. It runs on Google Android, which I think is a big plus AND its a much more convenient size 7" than the iPad for portable use and you've got Google GPS and thousands of other free applications.

BestBuy have it at $599 right now from Sprint or $399 with a 2-year data plan. Expensive, but better value than an iPad.

I agree with heidi about the Samsung. It's a perfect size, lightweight, with a beautiful touch screen. The screen has its own light sensor for best brightness. It's fast, I've had one for a couple of weeks now. I'm blown away by just how well it does everything. Top marks.
