Ebooks have been much on my mind recently, with the whole Napster
debate, etc. There hasn't been a lot of action on the Palm front. No
new apps to speak of (although I'm looking forward to the continued
development of Paul's LaptopHack), and Palm's new models are just more
of the same. I'm looking forward to comparing the Sony PEG to the color
Visor, but until then...

I'm always open to suggestions. If there's a topic you'd like to know
more about, let me know and I'll see if I can build a column around it.

Give me something to review, and I'll be more than happy to tell you
what I think of it. :^)

Actually, I've been invited to Microsoft's PocketPC Summit next month
in Redmond. They want to prove to me that the PocketPC is better than
the Palm for the mobile writer. I've got my ideas, based on what I've
seen from both, but I'm going into this with an open mind. Tell me what
you think, though, before I go. Which is the better tool for the writer
on the go?
