Yes, I loved my Palm and have been looking for something like it, but bigger, ever since. This eee Note could be what I've been waiting for. Can't find any specific reference to handwriting recognition software - that would be an essential. Though if it's Android, there's every chance of a third-party app if it's not native. For the price, it's very tempting.

For something like the device discussed, I'd want a folding Bluetooth keyboard, similar to the IR model I use with my PDA, if I needed to take any volume of notes.

Hmmm...wonder if there's any chance this will work with my now obsolete folding keyboard from Palm...
