Actually I have a Palm. But it never worked for me because it had a lot of stuff that I DON'T need and not enough of what I do need. The stylus and writing stuff on my Palm (515 I think) required me to go though a painful process for writing, and it was completely impossible to draw figures along with written text - which are very important as far as I am concerned. One figure can indicate the exact site of a symptom or even a diagnosis. This thing does that better. I'm not kidding. These people have something good and I see possibilities of variants of this coming into widespread use in a hospital setting. No wireless required except a few cm between stylus and unit. Data transfer is via USB when convenient. This is the only portable electronic paper i have come across and I have been a gadget freak for 25 years. shiv
