Now THAT's using your PDA! I, for one, am not that avid a user, don't think
I can read a book or watch a movie on a computer and am fortunate enough to
have an iPod Mini for my music. :-)
Where can you find outlets to recharge during stopovers (ie. what do you
mean by an "airport cafe")?
I have gotten the idea that some planes have the facility for recharging
PDAs. Is that true? I haven't come across that yet in my travels.
