Hey Steve -
Thanks for the thorough bibliography. I've seen the article in Pen Computing
already ( my favorite magazine by the way ), but I find like many others on
this list that the lack of compatibility with Apple platforms is a fatal
flaw. I guess I'll be waiting to see what Palm 4 has to offer. At this point
in time I'm looking with great interest at the Handspring Treo for day to
day basic stuff, my iBook for work product and my Newton for book reading/
creating and plain old fun.
Dave
