This is a relatively new appliance that provides internet access with all capabilities that don't require disk storage space (like games and website-builders). Haven't yet seen one, but sounds like this would support email, surfing, chatting, shopping, and investing. They sell for around $399 (check the website for the current price) plus $21.95 per month for the associated ISP (yes, you have to use their ISP). Plus it only weighs 5 pounds (don't know if that includes the keyboard). I understand they will also fold up into a carrying case, which would make them very attractive for travellers.
This is really worth checking into if you haven't already bought a laptop and don't plan to do anything that requires disk storage. Click the picture above to go to the Netpliance website for more information.
