Hipster PDA Week 1 Results

I've been using my hPDA for a week and it's mostly been a positive experience. Aside from taking some flak from my less tech savvy friends it's been well received by my peers. In a short list, here are some negatives:

• Limited multimedia capabilities and no mp3 support
• Not a very 'rugged' device. My BB Pearl survived the thunderstorm by managing not to partially disintegrate
• Bulky - again, the Pearl has a smaller and more attractive form-factor
• Does not sync with Lotus Notes
• No internet apps or the ability to install $10 Apps ( like MonkeyBall )
  

What the hPDA does offer is a very good experience of reflecting on the various tasks and to-dos of my life. Sitting down with a pen and paper beats the BB Pearl hands down: Whenever I have attempted to do this on the Pearl I end up mostly fiddling with the device, pressing random buttons and eventually end up playing BrickBreaker. I find the pen&paper approach a lot more productive
