It had a good keyboard, but the weight was off and it didn't work well on your lap (top heavy, it tended to want to try to nose dive to the floor). Also the screen was kind of dull. It ran on Palm 3.x (I believe, maybe it was 4.x). As mentioned elsewhere the battery life is not nearly as good. It attempted to be a full-fledged word processor. Some people like them a lot but I'm not one of them. I like the simplicity of the Neo. Any formatting can be done on the computer (at least that's the way I look at it).
But the Dana is pretty cheap now (when they show up) so, if you're curious, it probably wouldn't cost much to try one out -- and resell it if you didn't like it.
EDIT: Well, they
were pretty cheap. Right now there's only a couple available on eBay. It's been a while since I checked.
