Still Out Of Reach
 

I have long lusted for the Sony Clie PEG-UX40 or UX50, although both are quite old products. Mainly because they feature compact clamshell design, and I can write my blog entires in them on the tiny keyboard whenever I get a good thought (which is usually on the subway). I figured that it being 2 years since the last model rolled off the line, and that standalone PDAs are no longer in vogue, I'd be able to pick one up pretty cheap on ebay. Man, was I mistaken. Still looking at $200 range, which is still quite a discount from the new price of $500-$600 back in the day. Formfactor wise, it's prefect for me, as I eskew from the blackberry/treo model of single piece input. The sidekick might work, but it seems a little too small, and besides, it's just as expensive. I just long for a simple text entry device to compose my little blog entries on the go, without the bells and whistles of a phone or web surfing. But I suppose that it apparently too much to ask for.
