Looks like a new PDA is out from a quite unexpected place:

Clear screen, built in lamp, colorful case, stylus on a brightly-colored
string so you don't have to worry about losing it. The only problem is
that they don't say whether it has graffiti or HWR. If they improve the
screen resolution and if the HWR is decent, I think we may start seeing
these displacing palm and pocket PC's in the business world!

Cool, but what I am dying to find is this Palm toy a friend has told me
about. Looks exactly like a Palm Pilot but the screen is that carbon film
stuff you can write on, then drag a bar across underneath to erase. Even
has buttons that beep when you press them. Given it has real handwriting
recognition and keeps its info without batteries it may be better than the
real thing!
