RE: Re: Palm remote?

["Baker, R Keith" <keith.r.baker@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

Last week I had similar thoughts, clie vs pronto. Using a palm device
is very appealing - not only do I get rid of the remotes I could also
get rid of an old Psion and at a push a not very often used laptop.
But the remote will get lots of use, a real one is probably more robust -
it will fall of the sofa and what do you do when SWMBO wants to watch
Eastenders
and you want to use the palm. (Obviously Eastenders should loose out but
think
of the repercussions!!)
Also the 1M pronto is only 135 pounds.

Pronto will be arriving tomorrow - bet I miss the delivery and have to
chase it!
