| Well.. we are thinking about it. We've got two internet dongles (3 & TMobile) plus we'll take advantage of any wireless zones we come across along the way. Need to check what the costs are likely to be with the dongles though... Skibum | |

| I'm taking mine for mapping and I have a few movies on it.
Tim's got the interpipe on his iphone so there's no real need for forking out on a dongle | |

| Taking a Panasonic Toughbook with Mapping & GPS Dongle.
Also got a 3 Broadband dongle. I was thinking of contacting them and asking if they fancy donating free access for 2 weeks. | |

| Taking netbook and gps for mapping. Netbook will get on line with a Vodafone dongle or wireless hot spot. Overseas data usage on dongles is expensive. Also a couple 3G internet 'phones.
As with credit cards, worth letting you service provider know what you're doing for the 2 weeks, or they might put a bar on it if it's getting unusual usage. | |
