Yet another appliance.

Why did they choose to shy away from making a real USB host port? Because they 
did this, you can't connect an external keyboard, or any of a number of 
external USB gadgets.

So you're limited to the model of synchronizing with a "real computer".

Also, the user experience of Pocket Word without any good way to enter text is 
likely to be a bit frustrating (or do they have some kind of handwriting 
recognition?).
