Many.

I had my son respond to an E-mail from Steven, while I was headed down the
5. I've downloaded drivers on the road. I downloaded and installed
Firebird this evening while sitting in Fullerton while Robby was doing
homework. It's great for getting directions while on the road. I've used
it just about everywhere I've gone the last few months.

It's *a* point. Speed is another. I was sitting in a parking lot with
Edwin Black (he used to publish OS/2 Professional) the other day after he
did a radio interview. He was on his non-EVDO laptop, and not only had a
difficult time getting a connection, but wouldn't attempt a web page when
connection - too slow. OTOH, I was quite happy connecting to several
sites. IMO, if all you're going to do is E-mail, get a Blackberry or Treo
instead.
