 Yes, and I saw in your demonstration also that instead of
using a pen for writing on touchsensible PDA's you just used
the antenna of the Keitai...that's a convenient idea :)

I often use the tip of my mobile phone to write in my Handspring. I also use
the tip of my finger/fingernail. In fact I find the PalmOS graffiti quite
easy to learn, much easier, say, than learning another language. If I could
have a device with phone, large screen, relatively small size and PDA
functionality that I could write graffiti into with my fingertip, I would
buy it.

And, oh, it would nice to have a built-in or snap-on MP3 player (for those
who don't want to tote too many gadgets on their person) and a mini digital
camera like those on keitais. I've seen a great Samsung mobile phone with
full PalmOS PDA functionality in the USA, and there are many new models
coming out here in Europe from Nokia and Ericsson.

At the risk of boring the list with a reference to klunky European handset
technology, or worse, blasphemy, has anyone seen one of the new Nokia 5510s?
The functionality seems quite cool (well designed thumb keyboard, MP3
player, FM receiver and the dreaded WAP capability as well as boring old
phone).
