Just think about dragging a line across the note pad to make a new note: that's incredible! And a million little things like that... Think about having a soup that provides bluetooth functionality to a plethora of software that was written before bluetooth was even dreamed of...

I really enjoyed playing with these on the ARDIS network back in the mid-1990s (along with the Sony Magic Link-sister the Motorola Envoy).  I almost bought the Envoy actually, I think it was like $1,500, but the biggest issue was how expensive that data network was for monthly service.
