[CS-FSLUG] Looking for some advice please

[Josiah Ritchie]

The price of the device you mentioned is pretty good compared to the
standard PDA. I'd think I'd prefer something like a Nokia N810. The
size, portability, screen and flexibility that comes with a wifi
device would mean a good deal more value to me. However, if price or a
keyboard are a factor, that's the only thing I've seen to meet that
need.
