Can I get a labtaop that I hook up to my cellphone and can go on the internet anytime? Is this practical do a lot of people do this? Or is the only way to use a laptop and internet to hook it up to some LAN? Thanks

google "cellular modem"

My suggestion: get a laptop with bluetooth and wireless g. Then get a I-Mate JAM 850 version when it comes out in mid-late January. Sign up with Cingular and get an unlimited data plan. The JAM can act as a modem for your laptop and interface with it via bluetooth.

why would he want a wireless G card?

You can use just about any cellphone to hook a laptop up to the internet. You are going to get phoneline speeds which should be plenty for poker.

Go to the cell providers websites. Most of them have wireless modem cards available.

Go with T-Mobile. Last time I checked, they are the only provider that doesn't charge by the minute.

So he has the best wifi on his laptop to connect to unprotected networks across America.

I mean, more than likely whatever card he has will be a G card, but it really doesn't matter if its G or B, especially for internet.

Actually it does, G has better range.

this is a nominal difference. 10% better range at best.

eh, really not that big of a deal though.
