Pocket Surfer2
The whole wide web in your pocket
Sorry, this product is not available.
Forget about fiddly phones, hit and miss WiFi and slow-as-molasses PDAs. If you want to surf the net wherever you fancy without having to wait an eternity for pages to load, you need the splendiferous Pocket Surfer2.
This sleek slice of technological excellence lets you browse web pages in all their glory, with full graphics, Java support and other complex web functionality - anytime, anyplace. No wires, no Wi-Fi, no contract. And you won't have to faff around searching for hotspots as the Pocket Surfer2 has a built-in GPRS modem. Simply switch on and you can start surfing immediately.
In terms of speed, the PocketSurfer2 is a proverbial hare compared to the tortoise-like competition. Acceleration technology allows you to zip around the web like greased lightning. Pages that take two minutes to download on comparative devices take under seven seconds on this zippy gizmo. Wow!
Unlike smartphones and similar jack-of-all-trades machines, the PocketSurfer2 features a gorgeous 5" colour screen, so you won't need a magnifying glass to read pages like this. And if you'd rather staple stinging nettles to your tongue than type an address using tricky keys, help is at hand because the Pocket Surfer2 boasts a backlit QWERTY keyboard and integrated mouse pointer.
But what about all this free surfing business? Well, believe it or not, it's true. With the PocketSurfer2 you pay for the device not the usage. Upon purchase you get 20 hours free usage per month for a whole year. That's an hour surfing every weekday! (If you're a real geek a piddly £5.99 per month gives you unlimited usage). Talking of surfing every day, the Pocket Surfer2 is juiced by a rechargeable battery that gives 4 hours surf time or 5 days standby.
Short of miniaturising your laptop with a ray gun and blagging a free contract, we can think of no better way to enjoy the web when you're out and about. Whether you're Googling around, checking emails or gawping at the orangey wonder that is Firebox.com, the Pocket Surfer2 is w.w.w.one helluva cool tool.

This looks impressive, and if you use Google Docs you can even use this thing as word processor, spreadsheet and much more. As the internet evolves which it will devices like this is the only thing you will need as all information even the operating system will be web accessed.Wayne, Essex - 4th December 2008
Much better than expected after reading some negative reviews. Never going to be as fast and smooth as a £700 laptop and takes a day or 2 to get used to it, but it's not too expensive and it really really does work. Excellent gadget, I would expect Mk3 and 4 should be out in a year or 2 and if that supports audio and video it'll fly off the shelves. 9/10.Dave, London - 28th January 2008
I first thought when I looked at it that it would be pretty rubbish, with it stalling all the time, but it is actually really good. It's a lot less fiddly than my pda and my phone. 100%.Jamez, Manchester - 26th January 2008
Got mine yesterday, not bad, definitely handy. Worth the £180? - short answer yes. The build quality isn't fantastic but the page loading is good, and it even displays my webmail pages spot on, so I'm quite pleased with it. Hopefully they will release some new firmware for it and allow it to be used as a modem!Nick, UK - 1st January 2008
I was saving up for a conventional PDA ( I'm a medical student and liked the idea of carrying electronic versions of massive medical textbooks around in my pocket for easily accessible reference) but then I found out about the Pocket Surfer2. This is without a doubt the best purchase I have ever made. Why pay for electronic books/software etc when its all free online? The BNF, Kumar and Clarke, medical journals, emedicine, not to mention email and access to online question banks such as onexamination.com, 123doc. You wouldn't get full access to all these sites on a PDA. And, when I'm asked a question about some rare disease on the ward round I just wait for the doctor to be distracted for a moment while I google it on my pocket surfer. So. . Are you a medical student or a doctor enviously looking at your colleagues PDAs? Forget it...those guys are idiots spending 100s of pounds on software and electronic books that aren't even up to date. The pocket surfer allows instant access to the web which is a quicker way to retrieve up to date information fast. Forget the PDA revolution get a pocket surfer instead!The dude, Belfast - 15th November 2007
Really want one, sound quality. I'm gonna get one for Xmas for sure.Adam Millard, Summerset - 12th November 2007
Web, Email, Online Accounts & Ebay in your pocket - You got to get yourself one of these.Gerry Flynn, Edinburgh - 9th November 2007
I have one of these devices they are excellent! But beware the screen only shows 256 colours, so web pages aren't as bright and vivid!Calz, Scotland - 8th November 2007
It's a totally fantastic piece of kit!
I wish I'd had one years ago!!!
Love it :).Emz, North Yorkshire - 7th November 2007
