Okay, now I have to chime in. I had an impromptu conversation about handheld
devices the other day with an SVP of Marketing (don't let the title fool you,
he's definately tech-enabled) when he saw my 2100 sitting on my Hi-Rizer
portable stand. Turns out he was a Psion user for a while, then bought an
iPaq and hated it. Much bashing of Wince ensued, followed by searching
through the shelf of cool surplus hardware to find an Ericsson phone that is
also a Psion PDA. It was a pretty cool design.
