There is a similar device called the AlphaSmart Dana which has a full PalmOS running on it, has a larger, though murkier screen and a much worse battery life of a few days (though it still compares very well to modern laptops). It is great value for money because there are still some clearance sales. I have to admit that I sometimes feel a bit self-conscious using it public, due to its quirky look. It is reasonably future proof because you simply connect it to a modern computer with a USB cable and it will transfer your texts as though you are typing it into a word processor. It is a really good choice with a full-sized keyboard and an absolutely phenomenal battery life of many months on three AA batteries (even a full year depending on use). I used to own a Newton which is based on the same OS. I love the Apple Emate but it is unreasonably difficult nowadays to transfer the data onto a modern computer.
