"Why hand helds? A notebook in the hands of realtor as they show properties should be invaluable. "

I was describing how a hand held might be used most easily for people on the go. Your scenario posits a real estate broker parked by the side of the road doing updates to his mobile office or getting .gif files of housing shots for clients etc. That's an excellent niche market(bowling pin); there'll be countless niche markets and more power to them all.

I was trying looking at the big picture and surmise how the mass markets might use the hand helds. The truth of the matter may be that the majority usage will be those countless niche markets: I'm happy just as long as we see widespread adoption in whatever form it takes!
