Ed - I'm always in the market for something that's better than the stuff I already have, but the plain and honest truth is, no-one's ever beaten the old steam-powered Psion. I can type with all my fingers, so a machine where I have to stab letters with one or two fingers is no use. A Psion goes in my pocket, which everything else with a workable keyboard fails to do. Voice recognition is no use when I'm dealing with thousands of 'foreign' placenames, which includes the Lakes! Can I tell it to write in italics or bold? I can work on a route description while sitting in a noisy train station, where I wouldn't want a machine that started writing down everything everyone was saying around me! Only on Monday, a mate of mine was trawling me through electronic stores, where bright young lads were showing off their shiny new kit, and to be brutally honest, the stuff was quite useless, and would slow me up to the point where I wouldn't actually get outdoors in the first place! Rain? Well, that wasn't a problem in the Alps, but when it does rain, the Psion goes in an Ortlieb mapcase and I just type regardless!
