Connectivity
...
TCP/IP access via USB (PPP over USB via router software on PC) for low power network usage or if with laptop in office without wireless connection (I do this on my Palm via 3rd-party software on PC - but basics are already in standard PalmOS (PPP via USB).

- I didn't realize that there would be no way to get an IP address into the device other than using DHCP. This has not been talked about much, but presumably it makes this a device a non-starter for some people.
- It does feel a little sluggish, which sort of surprises me. I know there are PDAs out there with 600MHz CPUs, but it's baffling that they would need that kind of power. I remember owning a 200MHz Pentium Pro with 64MB of RAM, sometime around 1996. Why can't this machine run like that one?

- Virtual KB: People use the colon a lot. It shouldn't be on the CAPS alternate layout. (I got used to this in 3 seconds though.)

Drag up on the semicolon instead of just tapping, and you don't have to hit
shift first. (I.e., put your stylus on the semicolon, drag upwards a bit -- it's fine to leave the key as you do this -- and release.) Works for all the other keys, too. I never tap the shift key any more.

Well, I think I can not be objective: I've loved this small piece of tecnology since the first time I've read about it on LinuxJournal...
Likes: the touchscreen and the design, but I think the most important thing is that it's linux-based ;-)
Dislikes: the dimension of the charger's jack... just now I'm triyng to recharge (after a full-descharge) and the screen is totally off... I'm starting to be scared... I hope it's not an hardware bug!
Favorite apps: browser (but in the future, I think I'll find many interesting things to install :-P )
