This is an interesting device. The Invair Firewalker is a PDA designed to be used with one hand. "All PDAs available on the market today use a stylus or a keyboard for input, and they suffer from a variety of ergonomic shortcomings in the relationship between housing and display, which limits their usefulness in everyday operation. INVAIR has addressed all those issues and presents at CeBIT 2002 the first PDA designed entirely for one-handed operation. Weighing just over three ounces and using the tiny credit card form factor, the Linux-powered device features includes a wealth of software in addition to standard PDA functionality. The metal-clad FILEWALKER has a high quality display, an IR port for email transfer, USB, a MMC Card slot, and it synchronizes with Microsoft Outlook." NB: There are no pictures of the apps, but there are hardware specs. There might be something I'm missing, but only one of the web pages is in English, and the rest are in German (I think). http://www.invair.de/english.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer david at thekramers.net http://thekramers.net DK KD Every space-faring race has two things in common: First, they all DKK D have a food identical to what humans call "Sweedish Meatballs".
