look like traders now can trade wireless with full charting capacity.

Possibly so. I understand that the product is going to cost somewhere between $600-$1000

I would like to know if anyone here trades off a laptop using Verizon's "anywhere" service?

I am considering trying to use it when I travel (from my hotel room).

I would appreciate comments from anyone who has tried it or is using it currently.

Best Regards,
Steve

Looks like crap to me. Its somewhere between a laptop and a PDA. Too small to get any real work done and too big to carry around and do PDA type stuff....garbage.

They have like 3 companies manuf for them. The samsung model look really nice. Suppose to come with a full version of Win XP.

Good for trading on the pot, back porch or bed maybe?.?.?

Hey, dont hold back........

It could well find a niche, in the "i dont want to carry a pc and a breifcase, and i can see the screen on the blackberry" market.

I've heard that battery life is crap.

with more power hungry mobile devices coming into market, battery sector should worth a look

Are you back to "consulting" again? Trading is for young guys you know.

Good luck "trading" from a motel with a laptop. When I'm in a motel the last thing on my mind is trading, but I'm not old.
