A school district in Tucson has installed wifi on one of its busses, transforming a a rowdy, noisy ride into a study hall with essays written, science reports turned in electronically, and of course emails setting up dates.
Sound Transit has internet on a couple of bus routes, but not on mine. With books, magazine, and journals I don't really need the internet, except of course to blog (both of my work places block "social networking" sites). And if I really want to surf the web while commuting, I can cycle a few extra miles and take the WiFi-equipped Sounder train. I do have a recently purchased PC netbook-- If I had just waited, I might have felt justified buying an I-Pad (though for several hundred dollars more).
