UbiSurfer 9’s strongest asset is it's connectivity. Apart
from the standard Wi-Fi connection, Datawind has teamed
up with Vodafone to offer an embedded SIM and modem.
This allows access to the Internet anywhere a mobile
phone signal is available, at home and abroad. Users are
not limited to Wi-Fi hotspots and there is no need to
buy a costly USB broadband dongle to ensure connection.
Due to Datawind’s patented acceleration technology the
UbiSurfer9 delivers web pages faster than other portable
netbooks on a mobile network, at five to seven seconds
per page.
UbiSurfer 9 stands out from the
competition with a free-usage model eliminating the
complexity of purchasing mobile web devices and lengthy
contractual payments, activation fees and credit checks.
With the UbiSurfer9 you pay for the device not the
usage. For the average user, there are no monthly fees,
airtime tariffs, contracts or recurring fees – those are
paid for by Datawind. Users get 30 hours of free surfing
a month for 12 months and 5p per minute roaming in
Europe. Upgrading to an unlimited usage package is
available, and only an additional £5.99 a month.
Weighing just 700g and boasting
a sleek silver finish, the UbiSurfer9 has a compact,
portable design meaning users can be connected anywhere,
at anytime. Decked out with a nine inch TFT wide screen
display that has an 800 by 480 pixel resolution, a full
QWERTY keyboard and powered by an Arm processor, the
UbiSurfer9 will fulfil most computing needs.
The UbiSurfer9 is designed to provide enhanced
functionality and convenience. The netbook offers 1GB
SSD (solid state disk) shock proof storage plus 50GB of
online storage. This can be expanded with a USB or SD
Flash Memory device. Other features include an SD/SDHC
card reader meaning users can easily upload images, a
built in dual speaker system and a stereo sound earphone
jack. The battery offers up to four hours run time.
