Yes, but ultimately, it was very visible. At industry specific conferences I could not take notes in handwriting recognition mode because of a limited onboard dictionary. Too much correcting and frankly, useless if i waited until I got home to edit. If I captured notes in picture mode, it was difficult to get it into a file format I could email to others. I had to do a screen capture on my workstation and email a BMP file to get good viewing resolution. But this was in the day of <0.5 MB email limits.

It was a visionary device, with no follow up. After the frustration of multiple Palm PDAs that synced poorly and had a so so handwriting mode, an iPod Nano, also for running, was also my first invisible device.

That’s why I like running, too.

And even though I like transparent technology (it’s never invisible), I really find myself happiest with no wires or circuits. Just shoes and road.
