Pocket Surfer 2: Free mobile Internet, unbelievably fast

The built-in battery will spit out 5 hours of continuous browsing, or 5 days on standby. It weighs 172g and is about as wide as an average hand.

While this is all very impressive, there are still some grey areas to dampen your spirits. We weren't told whether periodic updates for plugins, such as Flash, will be supported. We're also not sure whether favourites and history lists are supported, though a representative of DataWind confirms it's almost certain. We'll just have to wait until the final units ship. 

But, if you fancy checking Facebook in a taxi, banking on the toilet, cruising CNET.co.uk while sky-diving or viewing porn in an ice-cream store for free, get your wallet out in August when the Pocket Surfer 2 comes out. As you might expect, we'll have a full review for you with all the details in a couple of weeks, so be sure to check back, Cravoids. -Nate Lanxon
