Default Good job again.

I loved the video. I actually purchased the 100 but just to set up and give to a client. I am on the other end of the spectrum of PDA users from you. I don't want a phone, I want a hand held computer. I am a botanist and do field work where I do data collection with GPS and programs like ArcPAD and pocket ACCESS like SprintDB. These are all memory and CPU hogs so I really want these unconverged devices, that focus on the hard work.

From the unboxing I still have two items I want to repeat.
The power button is on the side, which is a problem when the PDA is in a protective container like the OtterBox.
The quick shift to landscape view goes the wrong way for a righthanded person holding the device in the left hand. Instead of cocking your wrist 90° counter-clockwise to get a view you have to go 270° clockwise and your wrist is all gunked up, or you have to take the PDA out of your hand and rotate it 180°. Through a lot of tapping you can get it to rotate to the right position, but heck this is bad design...period.

I am waiting to find out about the new HP 211 - Please review that ASAP.

Thanks,
Pat
