The HP OmniGo never appeared to have been marketed as a more general
purpose
computing device like the 200LX; it seemed to have been aimed against
the
pocket organizer market---e.g. Pilot, Casio BOSS, etc.---as opposed to
Psion
3a, Zaurus, and friends. The couple of disappointments in software? Not
even
a simple project management tool (integrated with appt and phone book;
this
may change soon :-) ). They should have included a simple report writer
into
the "database". More spreadsheet functions. Oh. They could have bundled
IZL!
Hardware? More RAM. Maybe a user controllable backlight. Bigger screen.
Other than this, it's quite suited for what it was intended to be.
Something
to manage to do lists, phone book, checkbook/credit card (quicken),
etc.,
not as a platform to do C++ development or run Unix on (although I hear
that
the IBM PC-110, which lacks pen input, and is a trifle bigger (read: you
must
have a rather largish palm and pockets))
Best regards,
Derick.
