With the uses you describe, a 130 would do well. Slightly smaller than
the 2x00 has backlight for middle of the night brainstorming. About the
only hardware accessories you would need would be a set of cables for
connection to Mac/PC, a small, 4MB flashcard, and maybe some kind of
multi-pen for switching media. I would suggest the best software
enhancement would be MoreInfo which allows linking between Names, Dates,
ToDos and Notes. Helps to keep track of what you promised/sent to who.
