*Somebody, Dlink I think, makes a USB 2.0 wifi dongle that has an 
internal battery and an LCD display.  It acts as a wifinder, lets you 
select a network and test for a route to the net.  You can just plug it 
in ready to go in your laptop.  Of course a PDA will let you pop mail 
and other stuff, but it will be 2X the size of this gizzy.*
