Here’s a challenging query. Michael sent me this a few days ago and obviously knows what he needs. Here’s the chalenge:
I follow your reviews and commentary with great pleasure and interest.
Thanks for the great work!
Here�s a question. I have very basic needs in the ultra mobile PC world. As an academic researcher in the humanities, I spend many days in archives and libraries, where I enter text (sometimes longish text), which I then transfer to my PC. That�s my life � much of the time. I�ve been using Psion products for the last 6 or 7 years, but my Revo is
coming to the end of its performance. A basic word-processor, a good keyboard, a decent screen, and the ability to transfer text to the PC � that�s all I need or want. Anything else � phone, internet, camera, etc. � would be a bonus, but isn�t necessary. Can you point in some direction? Toward a product, a company, or a person, who might recommend a post-Psion machine?
Michael. Thanks for the email (and compliment!) This challenge is something I previously spent some time thinking about when I was doing my Solar-UMPC tour. All I wanted was a writing device with a good keyboard, bright screen, a simple suite of apps and long battery life. I kept coming up with the same answer – a mini Palm Foleo. Lets take a look at the requirements in more detail because its an interesting challenge.
