The small photo looks sweet. I´ve never been much for handheld vs. pocket, but this sounds sweet! Price is likely to be more than your home, so be sure to weatherproof yours[img]images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Well, it&acute;s huge.

9.69-inches wide by 5.05-inches long by 1.19-inches thick.

My Jornada 720 is 7.2, 3.4, 1.19 and in my opinion something bigger than this size is not confortable to carry up.[img]images/forum/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/img]
