My most unique device is the Tapwave Zodiac II. Very cool piece of hardware. Pretty bright screen, the best virtual graffiti implementation I've seen--likewise for its external bluetooth button. Its flaw, if it has one, is that the PIM apps are basically PalmSource standard where send always means via bluetooth--I'm a proponent of removing "beam" and adding IR as an option to the "Send" menu, along with bluetooth, SMS, attachment to an email, and whatever else you can imagine. I'm spoiled by the palmOne PIM apps which, while not perfect, are a damned sight better than the standard things PalmSource provides which haven't really changed much since the Pilot 1000. But it's a Palm, so external software will do everything that the palmOne apps can, and then some. The software's not free, but hey. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
