I PDA neatly fits in one's pocket (even shirt's pocket it that's your sort of
dressing style). A folding full-sized keyboard fits into one's pocket easily.
Not quite so with Foleo. It need a 'man's purse'. Sooner or later you end up
carrying one of these around just to save Newman from the landlord (think
Seinfeld).
