Yahoo Mail classic works just fine, as does Gmail. Also, YouTube doesn't work, complaining that the Flash Player needs to be updated. The Internet Explorer browses most sites OK, albeit a bit slowly, but its antiquated java engine fails to support some sites, such as 's internet speed test. As delivered, nPOP does not support SSL (needed for gmail and Yahoo-mail) but SSL support can be added by installing three DLL files: It also contains an email client, nPOP, titled Outlook on the desktop. Other 3rd-part software installed is WinRAR, Foxit PDF Reader, Image Viewer and audio recorder.

The are all pre-loaded with WINCE 5.0 or 6.0 but I feel comfortable that they could run some flavor of Linux, maybe xubuntu, if someone figured out to load it.
EBay is currently flooded with super cheap tiny laptops that currently sell for around $125 but after Christmas may drop below $100.
