I had a P1110. It had decent battery life (4 hours or so) and it was
pretty okay. I still have it, and I use it when my dad needs the Vaio for a shoot.

Come to think of it, does that mean my dad is into wearables also? He
uses it to view pictures and edit pictures from his digital cameras,
and he even has a modified waistpack for it - slots for Firewire out
and a fold-up shade to make it easier to read the screen.

I shifted to the Vaio because my dad finds it too small for everyday
use, and I'm the only one comfortable with a tiny screen and a small
keyboard. I have small hands - a little bit too small for comfortable
one-handed Twiddling, actually. I use the LifeBook occasionally, but
use the Vaio more - probably the coolness factor of having such a tiny
device. <grin>

I have also recently gotten a Microsoft-powered smartphone (same as
the Orange SPV, but branded as the Smart Amazing Phone in our area).
It's pretty cool and I'm thinking of using that as a camera or as a
quick visual interface, but it doesn't have Bluetooth and the Vaio
doesn't have infrared (or Bluetooth, for that matter, but that's what
PC cards and USB slots are for). I can connect using USB, but since it
uses ActiveSync, I'm stuck on Windows. I'd love to be able to access
it from Linux! <laugh> I'll get around to programming for it one of
these days.
