This: .. figure:: http://www.pdaexpertos.com/modelos_pda/imagenes/modelos/SonySJ30.jpg A sony Clie SJ-30 Was, indeed much better than this: .. figure:: http://www.pdaexpertos.com/modelos_pda/imagenes/modelos/Palmm100.jpg A Palm m100 And I was **happy** that I could get the Clie for only 100 dollars after trading my m100. And it had a battery life of a whole **2 days**. Nowadays, for the same 100 dollars, I got a Kindle touch, with a battery life of, like, forever. OTOH, at night I read on an android phone, which is about the same size and shape as the Clie and has even shorter battery life (much better screen of course). So, the more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess.
