Now people are talking, not so much of intermittent communicating and computing on cellphones, but actual industrial strength, continuous READING on cellphones? I can read a computer screen all day without strain, but can someone tell me what kind of cellphone can give you say half a page of print at a time in comfortable size, steadiness, contrast and readable resolution for hours on end? *Is* it viable?
I read several hours a day on my O2 Flame GSM-enabled PDA, much of it in a darkened bedroom next to my sleeping wife. It has a 3.6 inch diagonal screen at 480x600 resolution and a Micro-SD slot which is currently populated with a 2 gig card full of e-books. At this point, I think the Toshiba TG01 would be an even better choice, with a slightly larger screen and slightly smaller mass. And occasionally I will make or receive a phone call on a pay-as-you-go, 10 cents/minute plan.
