Rating: Summary: WOW!!! BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE!!!! Review: The best thing about this is the design, but the arms connecting the screen and keyboard look odd when the unit is closed. The screen is fairly dim, and must be used in a dark/moderately lit room. The viewing angle of the screen is horrible; the only position you can see the whole screen without an inversion/blackout effect is at an angle where any overhead lighting glares all over the place. The CPU speed isn't particularly slow, but the graphics ([re]drawing the screen) goes on at an awful crawl - i.e. it's no good for graphical things. Now I must sound entirely bitter and biased against this machine, but I'm not, I carry it in my bag all the time and use it when I can. I even use it as an electronic book, its best use so far.

Rating: Summary: Indispensable Unit Review: Throw away that old paper Daytimer (I did!) - the Sharp Mobilon TriPad is the perfect unit for getting your life organized. Using the supplied sync software, I transfered almost 150 entries to the Contacts application. I use the Task and Calendar applications to keep me efficently on, well, task! Although the modem is quite slow, I occasionally use my Mobilon to connect to my ISP when I'm away from home and check personal e-mail. (There are some limitations to the Pocket Internet Explorer - accessing a secure site is almost impossible because the IE version is not high enough.) Final note on Pocket Word - despite its limitations, I find it tremendously valuable as I do a great deal of drafting. I can then transfer these documents to my home or work computer, and finish them off in Word. Ok, one last comment: People are amazed at my TriPad. When I whip it out in public, I always get at least one inquiry.
