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

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