The Wifes sister is at Uni up in the big smoke of Manila and having a whole PC is just not practical and a laptop is also a bit of a problem due to security she has found.
Another cousin is also studying at a nearby college and both needed small pcs for coursework and what have you.
So they both have N95 phones which have TV out (a cable supplied with the phone allows many everyday tvs to be connected to the phone outputing whats seen on the screen.
So I sorted them out with software to provide office 2007 prog view/editing of word,excel and powerpoint. PDf viewer and creator, iM and email client.
I then sent out two bluetooth wirless keyboards.
They have now two decent basic little pcs they can literally put in their pockets (apart from the tvs)
This along with solar powered backup battries has also been very useful.
Also looked at sending over an old windows Smartphone i have hanging about Mr Admin as that new device which gives a mini laptop size keyboard and display with USB ports looks quite handy
I rarely use push email outside of work as like you Joe dont need emails asap all the time.
But for a while as the Wifes sister is applying for work experience program to go abroad for one reason and another she needs to know the mintue an email turns up.
Push email program would help here but i may just show herhow to set up the current client to poll evry so often.
PS Joe i cant help it if no one wants to send you email
