Post The Return of the PDA??????
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-102 ... 47-1_3-0-5


Seems things are coming full circle...


\"Borrowing some features from a PDA, the SNE-50K will support handwriting recognition, so users can write and store memos, manage schedules, and view calendar appointments. The device will also let people read text files, PDFs, and Microsoft Office documents by converting those files into a viewable BMP graphic format.\"

No matter how many times it's said, it's not going to happen.

Ah don't be so cynical legodude!

You're correct of course with the convergent capabilites of smart phones now

But you have to admit it is quite amusing how e-readers are now being loaded with PIM capabilities (and in the case of the samsung above, with a touchscreen and handwriting recognition) - giving you a monochrome device similar to the palm pilots of old!

The circle is complete!
