Welcome to Transit. Don't you love intro posts? The only really sensible thing to do is repeat the manifesto, so here goes:

As a globe-trotting freelance journalist, Angus Kidman spends more time on planes and in hotel rooms than in his own home. Having written about IT of almost every conceivable description since 1994, he knows what technology is on offer for regular travellers, and also knows that most of it doesn't work the way it claims to on the packaging.

Transit tells the real story about tech for people on the move, from 3G broadband to how to type on your notebook when surrounded by fat people on a plane, not to mention the eternal quest for a working power supply.

A confession: Angus has been known to leech off unsecured WiFi networks, but only when there's a really pressing deadline.
