Sounds like assimilation by the Borg to me...

Everyone I know who has a PP loves it, but I just can't convince myself that I'd use it. The calendar and phone number/address book functions are handled quite well by my laptop, and I don't even want to think about the data conversion issues to switch over. The note taking sounds nifty, until you think about making notes for a 1 hr interview in Graffiti with a dinky little stylus. Instead, my journalist's dream gadget is the CrossPad: make all the notes I want on real paper with a real pen, then upload them for storage and/or handwriting capture.
