That's a bit disappointing. I was hoping WiFi at the airport will be unsecured. The reason being by the time I do make another visit there, I'll be using my kid's old Nintendo DS to surf the web via Opera web browser cartridge. I don't think it can handle secured WiFi hotspots, though.
JAP, maybe by the time you come here, the new terminal will already be operational. And I hope that it would provide free wifi already.
Orly: Core Duos are actually very energy efficient that a typical 12" can last for 7-8hrs continuous (8 or 9-cell battery pack). 4-cell (the cheapest) can last for 3-4hrs.
either something is terribly wrong with your battery or with the board's power management system.
Justed wanted to add - if you have a WiFi enabled Nokia Phone (Series 60), you can send international text messages for free through the free wifi hotspots (or at home or the office with WiFi).
