While reading (books, newspapers and journal articles) I would like the option of being able to:
- Copy text (even images) into a clipboard or editor.
- Annotate the article including highlighting text or making notes to follow-up.
- Lookup words in a dictionary.
Questions:
- Can I read a book, newspaper or other e-doc (including .pdf files) in one window, while making notes in another?
- From another post I understand resistive touch screens are better (than capacitive) when using a stylus:
- Is hand-writing recognition capability (such as Palms Graffiti) included?
- How do I know which display type is on offer eg does 800 * 600 Touch Screen refer to resistive or capacitive (or both)?
- Is a 7 screen sufficient - Im getting on in years so rendering of text needs to be fairly good?
- Is version 1.6 adequate for my needs or should I go for v2.1 or 2.2?
- Do all devices come with a USB connection, as mostly Ill copy material from my Mac/PC.
- Are there WiFi considerations that I need to be aware of for the occasional email and download?
- Processor is 533 MHz enough?
- Other ?
So what are the suggestions for under $US150?
