I found this new product.
It looks like it uses some kind of compression technology, but looks too big!
$199
640 x 240
BT (you still need your cell phone to get online)
The PocketSurfer was previewed at last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It sells for $199.95. With it, you will need monthly service that ranges from $10 to $15 and a mobile phone. You will use either your mobile phone plan minutes or data transfer services while surfing.
Web pages load quickly thanks to proprietary compression technology developed by Datawind (www.datawind.com), creator of the PocketSurfer. Datawind CEO Suneet Singh Tuli said pages are sent through "acceleration servers" enroute to the PocketSurfer, resulting in files that are 10-to 30-times smaller than their original size. That means fast downloads.
Here's some more info and where to buy it:
