Robert you heathen,
iPaq is a dirty word!
Interesting insights, at least there is something we could jump to when
hardware supplies run dry. Maybe not as good as the Newton but a darn
sight better than Palm.
Only thing is, I really like my 2100 because of the size of the screen.
Come on Apple release an OQO type device, we all want one, may be even
two.. ; )
Kindest regards
