A perfect travel companion, the UbiSurfer is a connected netbook that delivers fast, easy and free internet access. Utilising an embedded SIM, the UbiSurfer allows you to surf the web anytime, anywhere, for FREE! You only need to pay for the device, not the usage, since 1,800 minutes of web access for a full year on Vodafone’s Australian GSM network is included in the cost of the device. The UbiSurfer also includes WiFi connectivity for unlimited internet within hot-spot range. In addition to WiFi and LAN connectivity, the embedded cellular modem, empowers the UbiSurfer to get you on the Internet easily, wherever you have mobile phone signal, thus making the Internet truly ubiquitous.
 
The UbiSurfer has a 800x480 pixel, 7 inch wide bright TFT screen display for delivering graphics and rich web page functionality. A full QWERTY keyboard with a touchpad mouse pointer, gives you complete control, allowing you to do more, but carry less. The UbiSurfer is one of the world’s lightest netbook, weighing in at only 700 grams. Not only is the UbiSurfer therefore ultra portable, but with page-load times of under 7 seconds, you’ll be flying around the web. Furthermore, there is no contract, no monthly fees and no activation charge, which means the mobile Internet is truly FREE! Just take the UbiSurfer out of its box and with the press of button, you’re on the net!
 
Unlike most other netbooks on the market, connecting to the Internet on the UbiSurfer is not limited to just WiFi hotspots or just where you have 3G coverage. In fact, wherever you can receive Vodafone mobile phone signal, the UbiSurfer can connect to the Internet! There is no need to buy a costly USB dongle to ensure connection either, the UbiSurfer has everything you need to access the real web at lightening speeds all built in.
 
The UbiSurfer also has an array of useful applications including a calendar, media player, XIP Office (word processor, spreadsheet and presentation), PDF Viewer, Email Client, Paint and Games. All the Office applications are compatible with Microsoft, so doing work on the move is just as easy as doing work at your desk.
 
For true mobility, nothing beats the UbiSurfer

Mobile broadband wherever you are
 
The UbiSurfer is revolutionizing the concept of mobile Internet by offering – FREE USAGE. Included in the price of the UbiSurfer is 30 hours of usage per month free for the first year, more than enough for the average user. DataWind pays the network operator, so you don't have to. This means:
 
    You pay nothing else, no separate fees to the network operator.
    No activation fees & no service charges.
    Works right out of the box.
 
How's it free?
 
Because of the patented data compression technology that drives the UbiSurfer, our breakthrough client/server architecture reduces the amount of data consumption while maintaining a desktop like web experience. Not only does this make your browsing experience blazingly fast, it also helps to keep the cost down. Whilst network operators are scrambling over themselves to sell the very latest 3G services and contracts to people along with devices that chew up more and more megabytes, the UbiSurfer takes advantage of one of the longest standing and best value data services on the mobile phone network, GPRS. In addition to this, the UbiSurfer also has WiFi and LAN connectivity, allowing you to surf the web for an unlimited period of time, and it’s absolutely FREE!
 
The cost of running a UbiSurfer is much lower than comparable Netbooks. Alternate netbooks require external wireless data modems, lengthy contracts and hundreds of dollars in annual data fees. With the UbiSurfer, you save hundreds of dollars each year, as we give you 30 hours usage a month for the first year for FREE.

If you use up your free usage hours in a month, your UbiSurfer will stop you from surfing any more, unless you are connected by WiFi or LAN. You will not be charged extra nor will you be permitted to surf on the GPRS network anymore in that month. You will be offered an opportunity at that point in time to upgrade to an unlimited usage plan for $9.99 per month. There is no contract or credit check for this plan; however a credit card is required to pay for this plan. This can be done at the moment you hit free usage hours or by calling the customer service line at any time and giving the required information. From the second year onwards- a one off yearly payment of $49.99 for 30 hours/month. Roaming is only $0.35/minute worldwide
