From my perspective, the more I use my iPAQ, the more limitations I come across. I've scrapped the idea of using it as a notebook replacement - except under specific limited circumstances, i.e. it will never be my primary word processor, even with an external full size keyboard, and killer software like TextMaker - the screen just cripples those types of functions. However, using a full size keyboard, I can slap a bunch of raw data and text into Notepad or Pocket Word, and then correct, edit, and format back on the main PC. Thus, one of my "holy grails" is seemingly not attainable for me.
Sure, I can print from my lil' buddy, but again, the limited (or difficult) word processing make that best for emergency situtations - so if I'm likely to bring my portable printer, I'll also likely lug my notebook computer.
Nothing out there, to me, is as good as a PPC for PIM functions. My PPC is GREAT for reading ebooks on the go, or in bed at night. I can crank out a tinny but acceptable tune, or listen to an audible book, and with a cassette adapter, I used to play audible books in my car.
It makes a fine photo displayer. It's VERY good for GPS (with the right software - and there are plenty of trade offs with each package).
But as it stands now, for me at least, my iPAQ is a great tool and lil' buddy, but it is NOT a notebook. Thus, I am more inclined to use the core features. I LOVE having Nevo, but if I use it 3 times/year it's a lot.
