Hi all

In quest of a way to drastically limit the amount of various-shaped 
pieces of papers floating around my desk, folders and briefcase [1]
when I need to jot down or to retrieve (!) something (eg University notes, 
memorandum, URLs, ...), I found the Apple Newton MessagePad, which seems 
pretty cool:

1. LCD display sufficiently wide
2. interfaceable to a PC 
3. handwritten recognition
4. real keyboard

Any comment about this toy or suggestions about similar ones ?

Thanks
Marco
