I’ve always been a huge fan of very small computers and have had several such devices throughout the years. A few notable ones come to mind… Remember the REX PC Companion?

If you are using the Samsung i500 Palm OS PDA phone and you are lamenting the lack of true two-way SMS, then you owe it to yourself to check out PDA Apps I500SMS.
