the hardware problem is the eyes and the hands. i use a pda because i can
put it in my hip pocket. that's just not going to happen with a screen that
half-size or full-size.

yes, most things have to be retrofitted, but that's okay. i don't seem to
have any problem with calendaring, contacts, todo lists, and so on.

the 8.5x11 format has many fine properties to recommend it, but it also
inadequate in some areas, and i don't think it's unreasonable that people
want an alternative solution in that case.
