Yes, it looks very slick and shiny, but I don't think I'm the target market. Did I ever mention my prejudice in favor of knowing where my files are and what they're called, and being able to get at them on a command line if I feel like it? Granted, my Palm has none of that and I love it, shabby and occasionally temperamental little piece of abandonware that it is -- but the Palm is a third of the size and weight of this thing, and I already have two netbooks, not to mention a 2006-vintage iPod Classic that spends most of its time docked these days. I was almost tempted by the e-book angle, until I realized that it's US-only, at least for now.

Mission Statement

Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
