Quite. I've considered using smartphones but what I have seen fall into
my category of "stupid, fiddly little things" - I have enough problem
with the user interface on my iPod Nano. [Note - I am capable of fine
work, including SMD soldering - but use a HUGE magnifier and special
tools for that.]

Until such time as these devices get touch-typeable keyboards (like the
old Psion Series 5,) I will be sticking with lugging around a small
laptop and separate cellphone.

Cheers
