Hans is still using his iPhone for mobile surfing. But the small screen makes it difficult to work with for some web pages. An iPad Mini is a natural choice. It has a 1024-pixels screen and is still small enough to carry.
Hans buys this iPad Mini 2013-05-11 from MacSupport in Västerås for 4195 SEK.

A replacement for the broken Acer N30 computer is needed. This unit has a faster processor but the bigger difference is the WLAN connection. Now it is possible to connect to the Internet.
The only problem is that Hans don't have any WLAN himself. Anyway the unit is synchronsised with the Outlook mail on the main computer, enabling off-line reading of mail and calendar entries.
Bought from Dustin for SEK 3512.
The Pocket-Loox product-line was discontinued by Fujitsu-Siemens in 2007.

A very slim PDA which Hans enjoyed.
Unfortunately, in the end of August, after just 6 months, he drops the unit in a stone stairway from the third floor. The electronics survives (the synchonization works) but the display is broken.
Bought from Expansys for SEK 2178.

Hans drops the unit into the floor several times without problem, but in 2001 the front glass is brakes into pieces. After repair in the US, costing 100 USD it is OK again but later the display becames unreliable. The unit has to be physically "kicked" to switch-on the display...
