Pocket SurferNot everyone has a laptop. And even those that do can't always be bothered carting it here, there and everywhere.

And while it's true most mobile phones allow you to access the internet, you don't quite get the full experience with tiny screens.

Now there's an inexpensive alternative to both laptops and mobiles when it comes to internet anywhere.

One that will allow you to surf the internet in style as well as send and receive emails. And not only that, it even includes 20 hours free surfing every month for the first year.

It's called Pocket Surfer and it allows you to access the internet from anywhere you can get a mobile phone signal.

There are no wires, no searching for wi-fi hotspots and best of all no contract. Even your first year of web surfing is free.

The built-in GPRS modem lets you zip effortlessly around the web wherever and whenever you like, displaying the pages in all their glory on its 5" colour screen. It also has a backlit QWERTY keyboard and integrated mouse.

True to its name, Pocket Surfer will indeed fit in your pocket. It weighs just 174g and measures 16cm x 8cm x 1.5cm.

The re-chargeable battery provides four hours of surf time (with 5 days on standby), giving you plenty of time to check your emails and visit all your favourite websites.

It also works straight out of the box. The in-built GPRS antenna and sim card accesses mobile networks wirelessly and it comes pre-loaded with 20 hours of surf time per month for a year.

After the first year, subscription for the monthly 20 hours usage is just £40 annually. You can also upgrade to unlimited usage for £5.99 a month. But the best deal of all? £59.99 for unlimited use every month for the life of the device (simply call customer services or use the device itself to take up the option).

Drawbacks? Well it doesn't support audio, video or fast gaming applications, but for the price and accessibility you can probably live with that.

You can buy your Pocket Finder online for just £139.00 from IWOOT.
