After working on a long document, I get cramp. I believe a keyboard is
still useful for prolonged and sustained use. However, if I know that I'm
going to do that I usually start it on my ThinkPad.
An A5 format Newton-like platform would be an ideal compromise for
portability and serious work for me however a keyboard would still be
indispensable. Just my two cents worth.
Merry Christmas everyone
Cheers

And on a mildly related topic, if the purpose of a MessagePad is to have
your computer in your hand, what is the fuss about keyboards? Doesn't that
defeat the purpose of an MP being handheld? To me the joy of using an MP is
being able to jot down the information into whatever application you're
using at the time.
I'm not demeaning the use of keyboards, it's that they're counter-intuitive
to me. What I'd like to see is a twelve to fifteen inch diagonal tablet with
Newton capabilities. *That* would be totally awesome to use.
