RE: I keep waiting for wide-spread adoption
Personally, if they can come up with a wireless Dana that runs Cobalt, I'll sell my laptop and get one of these + an iMac.
RE: I keep waiting for wide-spread adoption
I hope that AlphaSmart does consider some style chagnes to make it more attractive to the business market. I think that it has incredible potential, especally the wireless, to be an excellent ad hoc corporate notetaker.
Life is a great adventure or nothing.

But I've found that, once I log off and the WiFi is not in use, the battery refreshes itself and goes back to the level before the online usage, or just a little lower, depending on how long my Dana was online.
I also think wider adoption will be good

Not for me
RE: Not for me
I run a 64 meg SD card and a 512meg SD card in the 2 slots on mine and all my programs off of them and, well, life is just really grand. This news thread gives me high hopes for an OS 6 reflective screen version. Which I won't get if it doesn't have [a]user replaceable battery (say NO to disposable palms) and [b]10+hour battery life.
I'd love to see them branch out.
Though, on the other hand, it's not Alphasmart's market, and I'm not sure most Palm software would really work that well at VGA resolution.

I used to have a Non-palm one
They are very light and built to withstand quite a bit of abuse as they are primarily designed for children's use. The keyboard is quite large and luxurious and a pure pleasure to use. Because they are so light and tough and do not generate any heat, you can use it almost everywhere: in bed, in front of tv, on lap etc...It's NOT AT ALL like a fragile laptop.
I keep getting a craving for one of these every now and then which I may just have to give into.
I'm hoping that they will introduce an OS 5 model for compatibility with current software. I'm not really interested in color just the fabulous keyboard.
They have quite a following among writers and other adults too not just children.
Uhmmmm....DAnaaaaaaa....must resist....must resist...
NOW put in a real serial port!

But a Dana with a built-in modem! That would give those Mailstation slates a good run for the money. You'd get a choice of several good PalmOS email programs where you don't have to worry about Grandma picking up an Outlook virus/etc.
I picked up an IR travel modem on eBay, but that makes a two piece solution.
AlphaSmart forum?
