Hi,

Am not being funny but everyone says they want one, is this some kind of
United Nations-sponsored program giving away PDA maybe because of their
success over the last 50 years or something, if so which web site do I need
to go to register or applyl to get a free PDA?

Thanks in advance.

Ok ok calm down, I was just joking there, DOH!!!!.

Hope you have about 5 or 6 of them to sell. It's a tiny laptop/tablet and
priced like one. Assuming it gets produced this time.

Don't mention your 'fanny pack' if you ever visit the UK Jud.
There's a good chance you'll be laughed at!

impressive but... much too lumpy to put in your pocket.

At a few stages you see a man putting it in his breast pocket of
his jacket. That will result in a big uncomfortabel and ugly lump
in your jacket when you're a man (like having a big square tit)
and a pressed real breast if you're a woman. And a deformed
jacket after a few days with a torn out pocket.
Transport when not using stays a major problem, and this machine
doesn't solve it.
It uses a 20 GB harddisk. Harddisks are, in spite of many
improvements, still mechanical vulnerable items. They'd better
use solid state memorycards for such systems, much more rigid and
worry-free in such applyances. Just be bumped onto something hard
in a full train during rush-hour and.... bye bye data!!

It is getting into the good direction, but it still is not there
yet.

No, I won't be buying one of these. I'll stick to my PDA and wait
till something comes out to my liking.

You couldn't be more accurate than you've been.

These are exactly the points.

Well, you get some 'grins' even in Texas (at the pack not the name) --
although a lot fewer after concealed handgun carry went into effect (is
that a pda or a Glock in your fanny?)!!!

AFAIK that is the official name in the US. What is that type of bag
called in the UK or is it just not used at all?

Ahh, you obviously don't have a Scott eVest. I could conceal a small laptop
in mine. I don't, but I could
