The Number One Reason Why Not To Buy A Palm
Thats why. Why on earth do you need a note pad when you have your PalmOne device right there?
Maybe it was an slight oversee from Case Logics, but isnt that what a PDA is meant for? A pad of paper replacement?

You'd be surprised at how many people still write on little paper notepads! A person who buys a PDA has to decide that paper sticky notes are a thing of the past and learn to turn to their device and not ink and paper.

Now, if we could create disposable pocket pcs that cost about 1 cent a piece, we could actually leave electronic sticky-notes for people. Think about it... 50 years from now it could deffinetly be a possibility (Or less).... you write a note for Fred telling him to call you as soon as possible, then get a notification on your pocket pc when Fred picks up the note, says a few choice words (audio accompanies the notification) and disregards the message, only to tell you later he never got it.
The Future - quite possibily the worst thing for lying since the polygraph.

Well if the future pans out at all like Minority Report, we'll have newspapers made from "digital paper" that can dynamically update headlines and news as information becomes available. (Great, we'll have to wait for patches for our news because they went to press before it was ready...)
I do still occasionally jot down notes on paper for later transfer to my PPC, but most stuff is written in Notes for transfer to the appropriate application later. I wish you could actually write ink notes in the "notes" tab of appointments and contacts. I write faster if I don't have to worry about being neat enough for handwriting recognition to do its thing.

Great, now I have to worry about geting an error on my newspaper that reads "Page not found" or "You must register your copy of the Times to access this page.. please find your 50 character alpha-numeric case-sensative serial number and press continue".
The Future... ugh.

I was referring to the fact that they had their PDA right there, and they chose to write on the notepad instead.

Good point. Maybe it's a Palm thing. When I used a Palm there was no built-in app that would allow you to take handwritten notes. The notepad app was text-only and required the use of Graffiti or the on-screen keyboard. Given the choice, I think I'd take the paper, too.  I'm not sure if more recent Palms include a free-form notes app or not. I think a case like that would be of less use to a Pocket PC user since we actually have a semi-useful Notes app.

What would be cool is a type of device that sits on everyones desk...that you could digitally leave a note...via your pda(IR) or hand written. When you return to your desk you check it just like voicemail. hmmm I need cash, I could make millions with all my good ideas! :roll:

I'm not sure that this is a "Palm thing." I've seen just as many Pocket PC cases with notepads or even *ugh!* special inserts that hold the Pocket PC in a DayTimer!
