Thanks for the comment, Mike. I think you help draw the dividing line between those who simply want non-interactive access to their data while away from the office or home and those who want to create data or manipulate data while away from their normal computer setup. I carry my 12-inch PowerBook G4 around a lot as well, but I don't want to have to open up the laptop every time I want to add someone's address to my portable data or to take a note about the starting mileage for a road trip I am about to start...these sorts of simple things cry out for actual interactive access to data rather than one-way data like on an iPod. It is the one-way nature of the iPod and its high cost that have kept me from ever seriously considering buying one. The T68i is the same way. Data goes in from the computer, but I wouldn't even consider trying to enter any real amount of data through the keypad on a mobile phone.

Maybe the reason this kind of device has not been developed in an attractive package is because most people demand little from their data. I am sure it relates to the fact that most people don't create but rather consume data.
