List of Mobile Internet Devices
The Internet can be accessed from almost anywhere with Wireless Fidelity, commonly known as Wi-Fi, which is the use of the 2.4 GHz radio spectrum for data transmission. If you are near a "hotspot," you can log on to the Internet using a Wi-Fi enabled mobile device. There are many devices to choose from depending on your technological requirements.

Laptops
-
These portable computers are probably the best known way to access the Internet. If your notebook or netbook has a wireless Internet card installed, you will be able to browse the Internet using your web browser at any wireless hotspot.
Web-enabled Mobile Phones
-
Smartphones such as the Apple iPhone, Nexus One, and the BlackBerry combine a cell phone handset and a web browser, with additional applications such as a calendar included. If you purchase one of these devices, you will have a mobile wireless plan, eliminating the need to be near a hotspot to connect to the Internet.
Other Touch Screen Devices
-
Available in both small varieties (Apple iPod Touch, Zune HD, Sony X-Series, and Cowon S9, for example) and larger sized tablet computers (Apple iPad, HP Dream Screen, Amazon Kindle), these devices generally do more than just browse the Internet, and most offer music or gaming applications along with a wireless web browser. The Kindle, for example, was specially designed as a reader for electronic media products.
Peripheral Devices
-
Many of the latest computer peripherals are now enabled for wireless Internet. HP's Photosmart Premium Web Printer, for example, allows you to access online content without the need for a computer.
