If you enjoy email and are on the go, then this product is for you. I spend a lot of time in the hospital with my daughter and I also travel. Cidco's mailstation has become a great way to stay in touch with family and friends during these times. One feature that I particularly like is that you don't need a phone line or even a power supply to write and read emails. The unit runs on 4 AA batteries. There is also a power supply for times when you have an outlet available so that you can conserve the life of the batteries. The Mailstation also has many nice features such as an address book, calendar, calculator, and appointment tracking. It also has Yahoo information with your choice of updates such as news or TV listings.
The simple and easy use of the mailstation would make it a perfect solution for someone who wants the ability to email without having to learn alot about computers.
The mailstation is inexpensive at just under one hundred dollars. There are a few services options which can be paid annually or each month instead.
In summary, the Cidco mailstation is a great way to keep up with email when traveling or for a beginner looking for an easy way to join the world of email. It is moderately priced and easy to operate. The only thing I wish it included is a carrying case to protect the unit when traveling or not in use.
