once configured on your PC, will allow you remote access to that PC from your

the battery?
The battery life is 5 hours active usage and 5 days standby usage. The battery takes
approximately 5 hours to fully charge on the first charge and 2 hours for a full

Q: Can I really carry it in my Pocket?
Yes, you can carry it in your pocket. At just 172gms, the PocketSurfer2 is still lighter
than most PDA's and Cell phones. It easily fits in your coat/ jacket pocket.
Q. How can you afford to give the data service for free?
With next-generation packet networks, the cost to the carrier, and hence the
consumer is no longer the amount of time spent online, but instead the number of
packets (megabytes of bandwidth) consumed. DataWind’s solution consumes
significantly less bandwidth, thereby creating savings for both the carrier and the
customer. DataWind's web acceleration technology works hand in hand with Data
compression. Data is compressed before it is sent through the airwaves. This means
that you use less airtime and so it costs much less to use. In fact it uses so little;
DataWind is offering its customer's for free. We pre-program the PocketSurfer2 with
the correct settings to access the UK mobile network and pre-pay for service on this
network so the end user can surf for FREE anywhere in the UK for up to 20 hours /
month for 1 year.
