Just discovered the following new PMP unit, which is Linux compatible:

Very similar, I am urged to add!

I noticed that typos as well and thought to myself "we all deserve to have
our typos sometimes". It makes us seem very human (and mortal/erroneous, in
a good way). Speaking of which, I know I have plenty of typos in my messages
because I typically refuse to re-read my text.

This reminds me of same of issues that are attributed to the ultra-mobile
PC's. The nice thing about my Palm Tungsten (data loss this morning *frown*
[1]) is that you can navigate and do merely anything with just one hand (PIM
at least), unless you need to scribble. It was engineered to make this
possible. In/famous jokes would say it's the ideal handheld for pr0n. *LOL*
Best wishes,
Roy
