With the modern wonders of usb wireless modems to connect into the mobile phone's network and the added benefit of having a netbook which inherently has a long battery life, I can perch myself, seated Thai style on the fertile ground among the corn plants, communicating with half the world, albeit agonizingly slowly at times.

Vizini
Vizini (Reviewed: Jul 2010) - Where better to test out a product meant to be worn in the sun then the sunny state of Hawaii.
