The Maestro is a PDA running Microsoft Pocket PC applications. It can keep track of appointments, it has a note taking application, and it may be able to browse the web. It does not currently do email. It can also play Daisy Audio books. It is extremely small, one could carry it in a purse or in a pocket. It is an extremely Windows like device, so if an individual didn't like Windows, this would not be the device for them.
