Zula? Sure, if I can call my car “The WIng” why couldn’t your speak and spell be Zula. Go for it.

Y’know, toys like this should have nicknames. I’m thinking of calling my AS3K “Zula, speak-n-spell of the gods”. Whaddya think?

There is nothing inherently wrong with the Palm Pilot and the fold away full-siz keyboard….it’s just that the A3000 has 7000 hours of battery life vs. the Palm version has a helleva lot less. Also, how do you get data off of the Palm Pilot while travelling? If you don’t have the software and your laptop – it is a royal pain in the arse to get teh data off. For Ant, 1 “y cable” connected tio any computer and he is downloading the data.

That’s been my “in a nutshell” intro description to everyone who’s asked me about it – “well, it’s pretty much a glorified Speak’n'Spell”.
