A bit large to truly be considered "portable". :-(
Yeah, which means it actually has a useful display, rather than the
smattering of a few pixels that the Palm and their ilk have. All the
world's a trade-off.

Apologies for
this, but what sort of politically correct homogenised
saccharined Americanised word is 'repurposed'?
I don't see it as any
of those. What would you suggest instead? (In
case the meaning really isn't clear to you, to repurpose something is
to use it for a different purpose - different from *what* is generally
indicated by context (most commonly, different from what it is
currently being used for, or from what it was designed for).)
If you know of a better word for the meaning, I'd love to hear.
