This is the first PDA that I've seen in a while that is different. There are a number of features this little box has that other PDA's don't have.

The final report from the Chatham, Cape Cod NSF-sponsored workshop that was held in June 2003 is now available on the conference web site, www.sis.pitt.edu/~dlwkshop, under the tab "final report". The workshop brought together a group to look at the future research agenda for digital libraries and related areas. There is a wealth of other material available there as well; I've previously mentioned the attendee background papers on this list.
