You obviously have a different sun to the one we get here!

Dear James,
Please do not start ink blogging. Thank You!

Yours Truly,

To the scoffers, his handwriting is actually marginally better than mine. (All hail TIP!)

Wish I could afford a mobile data plan for my UMPC, but the best I can do right now is shell out for Wi-Fi access on the train when I travel. Greatly envious of being able to blog in the sunlight!

Hey! How can you see the screen with all that sunshine? I have a Q1 and the sun obliviates the screen.

Is your handwriting really that wobbly, or is just harder with flash being so small?

I saw one ‘in the flesh’ for the first time today and it looks really cool, but I’m worried about it being a fiddly due to the size (I’ve got a Motion LE1600 at the moment)

thx

Grant, my handwriting is really that wobbly, unfortunately. It was exacerbated by my using the thin stylus stick that comes with the Q1 instead of a real pen-type stylus.
