A colleague who works with Tcl (for this purpose, think of it
as Python, except different) achieves stunning results with
his tiny PocketPC Magician. For inspiration, see <URL:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/HTC%20Magician >. Richard makes me want
such a device, even though I orient exceedingly strongly to
full-size keyboards. Incidentally, the Samsung 730 is another
I'm considering.
