Re: Webpads / Large screen PDAs

["Adam Stevens" <adam@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Neil,

They look pretty nice, but it's the same old problem of price.  I can't
quite bring myself to spend the same amount on a CE device as I could on
a Tablet.  I know I said I'd rather have a CE device than a tablet, but
it's difficult to justify!

I guess it's the touch screen technology which is the expensive part of
them though?  I'll have to give it some more though!

Thanks,
Adam.
