Empty Palm
This article from Mitch Wagner's Weblog on the Palm-Handspring merger is interesting. I have to say that I agree with his conclusions: everyone who wants a handheld probably has one. I tried it out a few years ago, but decided that pencil and paper was more convienient for me. The market for handhelds is probably not going to get a lot better.
I do think the idea that he talks about (super-mini Tablet PCs) is interesting. As kind of an ersatz way of doing this I have one of those USB Memory Key things and it is great. I don't remember how much it cost me, but it was less than $30 and it holds enough data (including the files to this weblog) that I can pretty much work on any computer with a USB port and a modern OS (I suppose applications help as well).
