But I'll check it out and let you guys know if I see an opportunity. - Original Message - From: W.

It just needs to be a portable device that our field people would carry into a home, connect and test internet speed. We do need some way to visually confirm the ability to surf the internet. thanks for any suggestions...

The modems are already in the homes, just need to hook them up to something to test surf-ability. yeah this may be the ticket... - Original Message - From: John R Steinbruner stei...@pacbell.net To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 13:11 Subject: Re: [H] Need 100 cheap netbooks Yeah, for 99 bucks those look fine.

What's not to like? My concern was the speed test part. The browser/cpu combon in the $99 unit really won't be able to do much in the way of a speed test. The browser/cpu will get in the way of page rendering, if that is the test, and won't be able to run most speed test applets (flash or java).
