Slashdot Mirror
Palmtop Nirvana?
cakefool asks: "There seems to be a Slashdot article every day about a new palmtop/subnotebook/digitalwhoojerammy, and without fail people complain it doesn't have what they want. Let's do this the other way around - what do you need in a handheld computing device, seriously? I ummed and ahhed for ages before finally ordering a Psion 5mx, and it does everything I need it to, other than play Doom(1), and is a hell of a lot cheaper than the JVC micronotebook, and smaller than a budget laptop, with a much longer battery life than both." What features do you look for in a handheld/palmtop computing device?

Is this saying that we choose a product because of it's religious connotations, or because of the thoughts they conjure up in our heads. Should we, by your admission, not name any product, or put any product in a class because it has a religious meaning _also_? Words are more than their literal meanings, and in todays day and age religion is very quickly being eclipsed by a new brand of worship, a yearning for information. Anyway, god is only an imaginary friend for grown ups.
