I'll double-bag it next time then cybe.

Texrat, I'm pretty much with you there. I don't have the 810, but my 800 has a folder on it called "recipes", which contains c&ps from many recipe sites. I keep meaning to drop it into a sqlite form and pop up a little front-end for it, but to be honest the text files work just fine.

One of the things I really like about the iT's is their small, yet robust, form factor. The thing is as at home bombing about your local M&S picking up the ingredients for your Thai green Curry as it is on a windswept reservoir while you track down that geocache in the long grass. It can tell you the weather (and I don't mean that if you see drops on the screen then it's raining! ) and check your e-mail, it can be used for video-conferencing or as a speaker phone while you are in the wiring closet tracing a fault, and it can replace a whole box ful of old magazines in the 'reading room'. In short there aren't many applications where having that kind of connectivity and computing power in the palm of your hand doesn't add value - you do realise there is an on-line version of the kamasutra available, don't you? .

I realise that a lot of that functionality isn't limited to iT's in particular but, PIM functionality notwithstanding, nothing does quite so much, quite so well.
