Christmastime in the Big Apple with my Tablet PC

Took the fam to NYC today and brought the Tablet. I'm standing in front of the tree in Rockefeller Plaza at this moment. Tons of people. We took some pictures, which I will post as soon as they become available. The tablet has been a lifesaver down here! More later.

Were you online wirelessly? Does anyone know if the city of NY provide city wide wireless connections like Philadelphia?

Thanks

Ashfin, I have a Sprint PCS card which gives me 120k just about everywhere.

Certain areas do. I know Bryant Park & Bowling Green do, and I think Union Square Park is wired (wireless) as well. These aren't done by the city but by neighborhood civic organizations.

Hey Carl,
What kind of tablet do you have? I'm currently looking at the Protege as a potential late Christmas present for myself....do you have any tablet recommendations?

That's what I have, a Toshiba Portege' M200. Note the spelling - Port-e-ge' Got me too.

That's the same model I have. It's the best reviewed model out there. My only complaint is where the windows key on the keyboard is.

Apparently, that's a Toshiba thing --all their laptops have the windows key on the top of the keyboard.

Oops, I've had about 3 people correct me on that one. For some reason when I go to type it I always write Protege instead of Portege'

Oh well regardless it sounds like thats the one to get. I haven't found many developers with anything but that model.

Thanks,
Steve

Hey. Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Pink and brown baby bedding. I found only this - <a href="baby-bedding.net/.../">lime green baby bedding</a>. Bedding, the high grows for examples even fighting on a mild lot to the years, items and most of the classes. The east way of identical hights only many to the amino-acid meal is essential, bedding. With love :-(, Todd from Malaysia.
