I guess if you are happy typing while squinting at such a small screen.
I tend to find when I am typing on the Zaurus I hold it much closer to
my face, more like a book. While you could up the font size it doesn't
leave you with much screen real estate. I think you would probably start
feeling really bad eye strain.

I do not have a long-distance line in my office, so I have been bringing my Vaio notebook down to the office, but it is heavy, large, and most importantly, it is my personal machine. I would like to leave it at home. With the Z+keyboard, I could do this much more easily.

I totally agree about taking detailed notes but I suspect you might be
better with a light weight laptop with a bigger screen.
