Quote from: BigSoyRegardless of how cool that is, a crap solution for train travel surely?  :?:

only the battery life ;-)

Do you get a consistent 3g connection on the train?

The last time I was on a rattler, they still went Choo Choo -)

But it works fine when driving around in my car watching hardcore pr0n on the satellite ;-D

wouldnt be ideal for me on the train, tunnels grr...

Spose gold sim means different things to different people. Two people at my company have a gold sim (including my boss) which they received from the telco who is our main client as a thankyou for some past projects. Suffice to say the sim equals infinite calls/data connections at no cost no matter where you are.


Im looking at Archos again... the smaller ones.

looks ok-ish if that kinda thing floats your boat. Still probably > than Id want in my pocket.

Other question, do you travel with a laptop on the train?

Zune & Xbox 360
DivX/XviD/MPEG & MCE DVR-MS files sync with Zune (click on Zune in the menu)

A mate of mine is going to Miami tomorrow morning - Zunes can be bought for $199 right now - tempted for £100.


The Archos 604 looks good.

£260ish though.


Virtually everything I download is in XviD/AVI format and I use MCE to record a lot of TV to DVR-MS format. I think I might try a Zune if I can get one for £100.

I sometimes take my laptop, but I dont really want to take it out on the train. Too bulky / cant be bothered.
