Yes, the greatest P.D.A. Here you have the power and beauty of iOS, and connection to the Internet, and no monthly service charge (like on an iPhone). And, like all the iPods before it, it plays music too!

You can’t have enough technology in your life, so I though I’d pick up a new notebook – wireless of course!
It looks great with my Apple mouse on it, don’t you think?
UPC number 718103051767. Did anyone at Staples think, in this day and age, that “wireless notebook” would be a silly name for a pad [...]

I carry this every single day: the F-301 Compact pen, by Zebra. It’s great because collapses to half the size of a regular pen, so it can fit in a front pocket of jeans or slacks.
