I've had mucho success over the last 14 months as a seller but really need mobile internet access to increase my profits. I've heard vague things about the coming technology but have yet to see an actual product (other than maybe a laptop hooked up to a cellphone). If anyone has any ideas about where to go on the net to view some of these and purchase one I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I currently use a Sprint PCS phone connected to a laptop like you mention. It is a bit cumbersome to mess with but it is currently the cheapest way to have mobile access.
The other options I have seen are Blackberry email devices, check out ephones.com for these. Palm.net for Palm devices with internet access. Compaq IPAQ can also be connected to a wireless phone for internet access. If you have a laptop, you can use a Merlin wireless modem or other brands. This is the best looking option since you get a full screen and keyboard. but there are steep internet access fees. Check out mobileplanet.com and igo.com also.

I use the Sprint PCS Wireless Web browser on my phone to research eBay completed auctions when I'm out buying items to sell. The service has been incredibly useful, but I'm thinking of switching to AT&T and their PocketNet service because they offer unlimited browsing on the sites they offer (eBay being one). Does anyone know if PocketNet lets you search eBay completed auctions as well?
I was using a Casio E-125 PocketPC connected to my Sprint phone but I found that it was a lot quicker just to use the phones minibrowser.
