It also features a full JVM based on JDK 1.1.8." Any readers out there who have managed to try one of these out as well?

  1. PDA's not what they're cracked up to be... by diwolf · · Score: 1, Troll

    I have owned a few Palms in my day, and all of them have ended up being ignored for the most part. The trouble with them is that if I'm in my car making appointments on my cell phone, there's no way I can spend 5 minutes using graffiti, etc. to enter a new appointment. It just isn't convenient enough for me. So, until they have a voice recognition system that allows me to add a contact, and schedule a meeting with them by uttering a few simple words, I'll stick with my pen and paper.
