Dell Slim Auto/Air Adapter

I needed to look for a new computer adapter as I am headed to Europe in a couple days and my current one is an older 3 prong grounded (the outlets out there only accept 2). While I was hunting around online, I found the Dell Slim Auto/Air Adapter. Not only does it have the 2 prong AC adapter I was looking for, but it can be converted to either a DC Car or a DC Airplane. This is super convenient for me since I’m going to be on the plane for at least 9 hours each way. Even with the extended battery I also purchased, I might need some additional power for my laptop. It also comes with a handy carrying case and an extension cord for the DCs as well. Since the adapter goes from 100-240 watts, I don’t need an extra converter. I only had to buy an additional European plug adapter that cost $4 at the travel store. The only bad thing I would have to say is that the AC cord is alot shorter than my original plug at only around 3 feet. (I’m not sure why they didn’t include an extension for both the AC and DC.)

I found the average price around $70-80, but luckily I was able to find a new one on eBay for only $40 (plus another $10 for shipping and handling).

Tired of Mobile IE

Since I’m still waiting for the beta version of Windows Mobile Skyfire (http://www.skyfire.com/), which from their last update email might not be until Summer 2008, I needed something better than Internet Explorer on my T-Mobile Dash. I found Opera Mini 4 to be alot better. With this latest version, you can see the full version of websites and then zoom into specific sections of a page. It’s supposed to allow faster browsing since it compresses the data before it sends it to your phone. There is also an Opera Mini 4.1 Beta version that was released recently that includes some new extended features, but I have yet to try it out.
