Do you need an organiser? You know, appointments, addresses, that kind of stuff?
Of course you do, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.

What you really need is an organiser with spreadsheet, database, calculator, home finance,
email, internet, route planning, dictionary, etc etc.

You'll want it in a small, light package that has built-in rechargable batteries.

No doubt you'll also want it to interface with (and convert files from) your PC for backup and other purposes.

Think about it, you need a PDA just like the Psion Revo, in fact you should go and get one now.

Myself and my other half have had one each since they appeared last year and we can't live
without them. The software is reliable and stable. The machine is easy to use and maintains its charge with long hours of usage. The 3rd party software really brings this machine into another league too. Try Palmtop Money if you're into organised finances.

Don't worry about the 8Mb of memory running out, I have all kinds of applications, games and data stored on mine and have still not used more than 47%. If you want to use it for route planning then it may be worth considering its bigger brother, the Series 5mx as it's extra memory will allow larger maps to be stored.

The keyboard is easy and accurate and the screen is clear and detailed, what more could you ask for? Touch sensitive screen with pen? It's got that too.

A small warning though: if you're planning to swap files between your PC and the Revo, don't expect the conversion to always be perfect, especially with complex files such as Word 97 with tables.
