I can testify as to the usefulness of palmtops -- having a convenient, configurable computer always on-hand is like having a Swiss Army knife for your mind.
They can turn many a moment that would otherwise be wasted into time well spent, and also serve as a backed-up adjunct to the memory in the way that a paper notebook can't match. You can play chess, write novels, even develop software on them.
