The Pilot seems to have the combined problems of BOTH the OmniGo AND the
Zoomer. For example, tiny screen (160x???), no keyboard, no AC Adapter,
no IR, and its construction is pretty "cheasy" (cracked screens, cases,
etc..).

The only thing good about the pilot is the connection s/w, and the
speed.
