What's the *cheapest* mobile device that you guys use for Anki? - abdwef - 2009-02-18

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a device small enough that I can use my Anki RTK decks while standing upright (i.e. while walking or when standing on the subway). Currently, I'm leaning towards the iPod Touch.

I don't want a cellphone, so that rules out the iPhone and Windows Mobile. Plus, I don't want anything that comes preloaded with Microsoft software.

I'm looking to keep the purchase under $300 (iPod Touch is ~$250 here in Canada).

Thanks in advance.

I use the iPod touch. Just make sure that you're always within range of wireless

So to clarify, what you really want is a mobile device that can run Anki without an internet connection, isn't a phone, doesn't have Windows Mobile/CE or any other Microsoft software, and is cheap?

asus eee 701 netbook? Maybe not mobile enough...

Yeah, not really mobile enough to use while walking. ;-)

It's OK to have an Internet connection, I just don't need a cellphone. If I need to go online, I'll connect to the university wifi network.

But other than that, yes, that's basically the kind of device I'm looking for.

Thanks, that's probably what I'll end up getting.

I use my ipod touch. It was a gift, so it's cheap for me Smile

Also, iPod Touch has this going for it:

It can fully sync with your Anki decks. And it will be on the official App store within the week according to the site (finally!).

This looks good. Any idea how it compares to iAnki?

Check out craigslist. There are always a ton of iPod touch & iPhones on there. I regret getting my 2nd gen iPod Touch since there were unlocked 2nd gen iphones on craigslist for about the same price.
