Subject: Focus on accessibility and killer apps

For me:

- never cheap enough; any price is a liability to carry round
- size/weight (I decided to go for a p800 phone to cut on size)

Features:

- ABILITY TO STORE AND RECALL NOTES quickly and efficiently. Writing to a txt file is fine but should be able to search it quickly. Automatic tagging of date is nice too. Easy input and easy to see display!!
- maybe a calender
- maybe a calculator
- if it was very cheap GPS or similar / maps / similar

What I don't need:

- media features; it's a luxury not needed
- colour screen
- more gumpf

All I really need is a digital piece of paper. But to do this it comes back to those basics of:

- battery life
- easy input
- clear output (display)
- size
- price

They should concentrate on getting these basics right! I feel people really aren't interested in anything but the

'killer apps' like:

- reading/writing
- map viewing
- translation (the universal translator is feasible; speech rec -> txt -> translation -> speech?)
- diary

^ but these are all I an think of
