Try this WeTab from German company Neofonie. That was named WePad before to avoid confusing brand names with a certain fruity competitor. Please read this article about WeTab at http://www.geekiegadgets.com/2010/wetab-we-happy/ There are more electronic gadgets at http://www.geekiegadgets.com

Can I use my wi-fi in germany
Can I use my wi-fi in germany?
I'm going to Germany this week with my laptop that has a wifi card in it. I'm planning on logging into the local wifi networks there (at cafes and such) and utilizing Skype to keep in touch with friends back home. Is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to do this? I heard you can't log onto a network there like you could at a Starbucks, for example, here...

I don't know many places here where you can log on to a WiFi network for free. As to technology, that's no problem; but if there is WiFi at all, you will be charged for and need the appropriate access data. However, you can scan for open WiFi networks, and if you find one, use it. (It's technically illegal, but who cares?) Some cafés (and Starbucks) have WiFi and will let you use it for no or moderate fees. Hotels have WiFi, too, but they'll often overcharge you. If you stay with friends, scan for WLANs in the neighborhood and ask if you can hop on. I'd let you use mine anytime if you stayed near my place. (It reaches as far as to the nearest hotel, but don't let anyone know; their management would kill me.) --- Folks, just tell me where in the country there is free WiFi in Germany? I don't know a single small town where there's reasonable WiFi access, and I don't want to spend my time at a McD's just to have WiFi.

This should work here in Germany. And now a commercial break ;-) At Mc Donald's Cafe you can use wireless LAN for free (you receive a voucher when you buy a coffee or so and the voucher is valid for one hour).

Sure you can use it! Look out for the WiFi signs at cafes. Note: In Germany WiFi is called "WLAN"

Goto Control Panel and select "Regional and Language Settings", then follow the stuff in there.
2 :
- In Vista use automatic updates to install English Language Pack. - In XP go to the microsoft website and search for an english LIP of even better, an english MUI. Though I think English is installed by default so you would only need to change the language through Locale options in control panel.
3 :
If you mean changing the operating system's language, you will need an English version of Windows. Product keys are valid across different language versions, so the key that came with your laptop can be used with your new Windows version. You can contact Microsoft and have them send you a CD. Make sure you ask for the right one - Home or Professional. A Home key won't work with Pro and vice versa. There is also something called MUI (multilingual user interface), if you have XP Professional. I don't know how it works, though. If you have Pro, look it up

Most laptop AC Adapters are autoswitching from 110 to 240v. You'll just need the adapter so it works with the german outlet.
2 :
It is not the laptop that you are concerned about, but the power adapter. It converts the input power (220 or 110v) to the power that your laptop runs on internally. You will need to replace your power converter with one that accepts the input voltage provided at your location. You can get one from the manufacturer or use a universal after-market converter.
3 :
Germany like most of Europe uses 220v, the issue is whether your power adapter is multi switching, most are. Turn the power brick upside down and look at the label, it most likely tells you it is 100-220v in which case it auto senses the input voltage. When you get to Germany find a PC store, take your charger and US cable and ask them for a cable to fit the German power outlet sockets, that is all you need to buy. Here (in Spain) we advise most of our UK, Asian and US clients to just change the cable as the power adaptor does not need to be changed.

No problem - most laptop power adapters can take 220 Volts "as is". All you will need is a new power cord. (That's the cord that runs from the wall outlet to the power adapter. Again, most laptop power adapters have connectors on that end, so replacing the power cord is easy and cheap.) Just read the sticker on the power adapter first: It will clearly state the voltage range
