(2006-12-12) Large Pda Desire

I'm feeling a lust for something bigger than my Sharp Zaurus PDA, but smaller than a Lap Top. An addition to my Personal Network Architecture.

I think the primary use would be FreeMind! To be used in meetings that aren't at my desk.

• note there's a PDA version of FreeMind. It offers the classical tree view as found in file system browsers, rather than mind map view found in FreeMind. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Fmpda_screenshot.png

Some options:

• Nokia 770

• one of the bigger Sharp Zaurus ClamShell units

• UMPC/MID

• something even bigger?

• ??

Boy this would probably drive me nuts, deciding what to store where.

• Would I stick my Private Wiki on this machine?

  • Would I convert the various flavors to Tiddly Wiki? Probably not, since my Lap Top set is intended to have thousands of old notes. (Though it might be worth researching this...)

• Would it replace the one on my current Sharp Zaurus? Probably not, since the latter is more portable.

Clearly I need to think more about what I want.

Outcome-for-now: we have a spare Lap Top in the office, so I'll try using that for meetings. If that doesn't work out, I may swap my DeskTop for a Lap Top, even if I only use in (various parts of) the office.
