Granted, but my argument is that, for the vast majority of folks, the only
choice is Palm (or PocketPC) and an old-fashioned analog Daytimer. A Palm
is NOT an adequate substitute for a Daytimer, since you really can't take
notes effectively on it. So, given that many folks have opted for the
Daytimer, well they're already used to carrying something that size.
(Remember, time management systems are very nearly cults. ;-) ) I actually
wish there were a slightly smaller keyboard for the Newt so that my 130 and
a keyboard could fit in the Daytimer form factor.
