This is an interesting read from a guy that knows what a computer is and how to use it fairly well. He wants to like handheld computing, but just cannot seem to make it work. He tried two years ago with a Palm IIIc and gives it another go this year with a Toshiba e310.
So, does he have a point? To be honest, I think I have about 5 of these guys in my small office, people that are perfect candidates for some sort of PDA, but they just don't mesh with the concept, preferring a thick bulky Franklin Planner to keeping data in your PC and syncing with your Pocket PC.
