Questions about OmniGo 120...

Well, I recently discovered that the OmniGo 120 has been announced and,
at least in some stores, released. (I've been told to check Service
Merchandise, yuck! Hoping it'll arrive at Incredible Universe or
CompUSA soon.)

Basically, I was considering buying a Psion to supplement my Newton;
the Psion actually has better import/export capabilities with Windows
than the Newton does, and the Psion has a decent word processor.

However, if there were a decent word processor for the OmniGo, I'd
buy one in a heartbeat. With the display and PCMCIA improvements in
the 120, it sounds like a winning bet. If there are decent software
development tools for the OmniGo that don't cost an arm and a leg,
so much the better. ;-) I've already seen mention of a terminal
program and text editor package for the OmniGo.

I have a Motorola PCMCIA modem that works fine in my Newton. It'd
be nice if I could use it on an OmniGo as well... any idea?

The big question is, of course, should I wait for an even better GEOS
based palmtop to come out? I know some new ones are due out soon...
