You all should chuck your ipads and get palms from about 10-12 years
ago. I loved the onscreen keyboard in my m515. I used it with the
stylus, taptaptaptap, fast entry with practially no mistakes, perhaps
fewer than I make on a keyboard, and this from someone who has trouble
writing due to poor muscle control. With a 160x160 pixel transflective
screen it was usable in bright sunshine too; I used to sit on the Downs
texting my friends. Getting a Zaurus was the worst thing for my social
life. :)

I'm thinking of pairing the palm with my Kindle in a folding case, but
haven't got any real ideas for it other than using the Palm for text
entry and maybe using the original calendar which was nice -- simple
and efficient. I like to write when I'm out in the countryside where
laptops mean neck strain and my Zaurus makes my thumbs ache.
