Just installed Pocket SharpMT on my HP4150 (what is rapidly becoming my favourite gadget). So far it seems pretty fully featured. In fact I think some aspects are easier to use than the full version. However my handwriting needs to get a lot better if I want to use it in anger. Either that or I need to buy a keyboard..

Nightmare. Just done a search on Google for Martin Woodward and I no longer appear! My pagerank has just totally dissapeared!
