Can you guys recommend the best devices to access the internet without hooking up a PC?

There is Web TV and a little computer like device (but cheaper and smaller) at Staples made by Compaq.

I generally favor the iopener if your looking for a net appliance. It offers a nice 10" LCD 800x600 flat screen with decent visual clarity. By defualt, the system uses a Socket7 m/b, Cyrix processor, moderate amoung of memory, a smart card for storage, and QNX for the operating system.

Last I knew, these systems sell for under $200 with a standard service activation.

Good Luck,
