I appreciate the offer, but that still leaves 2 problems, 1, the lack of a keyboard., and 2, no easy way to copy mp3s to the root volume of
my Sansa Clip Zip mp3 player.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 12:31 PM, Yaron <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tclug@freakzilla.com" target="_blank">tclug@freakzilla.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I will note that my most expensive Android tablet is a Kindle Fire which I got for $140. The touchpad was even cheaper.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

I have a cellphone. I don't use it for MP3, and I don't have a simple way to<br>
transfer files from the phone to the mp3 player. My phone battery is going<br>
to be stressed enough as it is, with gps tracking. Plus, trip log updates<br>
would be a pain without a keyboard.<br>
Tablets don't have keyboards, and are way too expensive.<br>

Any reason you don't want a tablet? Or even a cellphone?<br>

I'm planning a long bike trip starting next Sat (10<br>
days 600+mi). In getting<br>
my gear together, there's one piece of equipment<br>
that I don't have that<br>
would really be useful.<br>
Does anyone here have a netbook I could borrow or<br>
buy for cheap ($100-ish)?<br>
A borrowed machine could be returned after Sept 10.<br>
<br>
Specs: All I need is something that'll run a full<br>
web browser (google maps<br>
and <a href="http://bikeroutetoaster.com" target="_blank">http://bikeroutetoaster.<u></u>com</a> are required),<br>
downloading podcasts via<br>
sftp/rsync, decent wifi, and good battery life<br>
(it'll spend most of it's<br>
time off, but longer life means I have to stop to<br>
recharge less often).<br>
<br>
If you've got something that fits the bill, please<br>
contact me off-list.<br>
