I would also like to see the joystick enabled cursor. One could position it at the beginning of the text, press the "1" button and move the joystick/cursor to the right (or down for the whole line, paragraph) and have the text higlighted (marker effect for making annotations in the text or underlining as an option). Pressing the "2" button would finish the selection.
I would also like to see the sync feature with Microsoft Outlook for Calendar, Address book and To Do list (Notes).
Thanks to Sony for bringing otherwise a wonderful device to the market.

There are keyboard that have come out for PDA in the past. Hum... There is a series of PIC chips that have USB communication HW built in and enough I/O pins to pole a keyboard. They look like a RS232 device. Now if a small hack could be done to the kernal or better program the PIC chip to act like a HOST could do an end run so to speak on control and possibility editing.
If a search function was added I could see this as a reader and a mobile look up source. Know some clients that if it had a search would buy it in an instant.
You can "print" a copy of your contacts from outlook. I know its a work around but I don't change them that much. Once a week works for me.

Guess it may be possible to cook up a VC/VB program to extract Outlook info by a click of a button and pop it out in a readable format.
