If you are interested I have a HP jornada 680 with the charger and the
serial cable. I used it as a serial terminal until I replaced it with
a netbook.
I have not used it in a while, when you need something compact with a
real keyboard, it gets the job done.

Tom - Here's the dilemma. The pocket-sized DOS computers (HP-200, Atari
Portfolio, etc.) are too small for their keyboards to be useful. The larger
ones (all the Windows CE stuff that Liam mentioned, along with the awesome
Psion Series 7/Psion Netbook) have good keyboards and screens, but they're
fragile and kind of exotic for modern purposes.
For me, the solution is modern produts. I use a high-end Android smartphone
and a low-end Chromebook. Either one is excellent when I need a quick/simple
note-taking device. With the phone I use the "Google Keep" app for quite
notes/lists. With the Chromebook I use an offline app just called "Text"
because it's extremely fast and has good options.

Hi Tom.
Welcome to 1997. :-)
the
[Psion 3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_3) and [Psion
5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psion_Series_5) look like good options,
but i read about the hinge/screen issues
I am leaning more towards the Psion 5 because of the easy of getting
accessories,
but it has more things to break
but I am wounding about other options?
"Wondering"? :-)
