A board that is about the size of an A5 pad would be perfect or one of those flip out ones you can get for palms. But Palm is too expensive and has too many bits I dont need. Just a TEXT EDITOR! How hard can that BE!? Thumb pad on those translators. A board that is about the size of an A5 pad would be perfect or one of those flip out ones you can get for palms.

No for real, I am already busy with too many things, this would be a bit over the edge. But the thought is interesting. Still, personlly I would love to have a secondhand ibook 12", maxxed out, put ubuntu on it and carry it with me. For on the road blogging I would always prefer a full-size keyboard over a thumb-board. Hahaha… No for real, I am already busy with too many things, this would be a bit over the edge.

[they should be here somewhere in March '07, costing way too much...] The ultimate blogging tool... I think you would end-up with something like a <a href="www.flybook.biz" rel="nofollow">Flybook</a>. But those are really expensive. Cheap: get a 12 inch (or less) secondhand laptop with the characteristics you want and run ECTO on it... Then you can prepare your posts and when you hook up to the internet you can post all at once.

One more you should consider, Jan, is the E90. It's just been announced in 3GSM. Might also interest you. Since he’s waiting for the N95, he prob hasn’t bought one yet.

I will buy the Nokia N95 as soon as it is available. Then, the only concession I am doing is not having a full qwerty keyboard... but the features on this device are simply amazing. And the built in GPS and mapping software really shows off. It has been a while but in the meantime I have made up my mind… I will buy the Nokia N95 as soon as it is available.
