Author's Review
So I was up a few dollars in my pocket, and was wondering. What could I buy that would improve the way I live? I looked around. New portable Media Player? Some good applications for my PC? An upgrade to my system?
Well, I thought about all of those choices for a few weeks. Then one night I was thinking, it would be nice to have something that I could jot a few notes here and there and give me something to do when waiting.
Two days later I bought an E2. Another day later, I had it chock full of everything. However, unlike other devices or programs, it is chock full of stuff that I actually use. I have every single reference tool that i could possibly think of, including a periodic table and tide tool. It is my new calculator, as well as a holder for all of those games that one can play.
This is a major point for me. There are always plenty of games that you wish you could play in those small gaps where you had nothing to do. However, if you actually sit down with one, you waste a lot of time. The E2 provides a great place for this.
Now, playing games would probably drain the battery really fast. However, these things are powered by miniature black holes! I can watch video for about 6 hours straight before having to recharge.
Did I say video? Yes I did. One of my favorite freeware applications has to be a media player. Screen resolution of 320x320 is really good compared to some players out there, and with the rate of flash memory these days, space becomes less of an issue.
But getting said files onto a flash card, thats a different story. There is no easy way to hook up the sync cable, and have access to all the files in the flash drive. it's a minor hassle to find a flash reader every single time.
Last, I'd like to finish off about graffiti. I have never used graffiti 1, and this one is an exact suit for me. I write cursive normally, so that gets half the characters, plus the rest are fairly easy to figure out. The only quirky ones are like parenthesis and h/n.
Warranty scares me though. I'm sure that these things will probably last, but I'd like a warranty to back it up longer than 90 days.
