I've been anxious to try my laptop online while in a moving car, and it's working. The only problems that I've had is typing with a moving keyboard
 and we went into a roaming area. Hmm, wonder what the charge will be for that? Ever hooked up online while moving? Dave

If I ever pile my rig into the car, plug it up, and borrow a wireless adapter, I'll let you know...

I was sitting kinda' sideways in the backseat with the laptop on a cushion, but the typing was still hard. I just didn't realize how much moving it did while in the car.
I've got unlimited internet access with the laptop, so the roaming didn't increase the bill. It did increase the slowness for about 10 minutes and then I was back on regular speed! Trotter, make sure you're not driving while typing.  LoL!Dave

I don't think I have been on a Laptop but there have been countless times I have needed directions or a phone number and hit up Google on the BlackBerry. I wonder if that counts since it does have full browser capabilities.
I can imagine that they will make that illegal too after they are done banning cell phones in cars. |

I wasn't thinking of the internet capable cell phones even though I have been online on my cell before I was online with my laptop while in a moving car. Please note that at all those times, I was NOT driving!

No, never tried it. I'd imagine I'd use a laptop in a car to just watch a movie or something. Maybe not even that. I've tried reading in the car before and it makes me sick.
