Came across a small kiosk yestereve w/ a pair of demo units, which unlike the one for the 505 had only partially functional units --- many actions would result in ``that doesn't work on this unit'' or some such.

My biggest concern was the tracking of the input when in the free-form drawing / note-taking mode --- rather than smooth curves I would get approximations thereof drawn w/ connected straight lines --- is that a specific limitation of the demo unit or do they all function so? Rather distressing that the result wasn't even as nice as my Newton MessagePad could do.

Does anyone have any images / notes taken on a PRS-600 which they'd be willing to share?
