Of course, the first version of it was so far ahead of its time it didn't work very well... but the last version was fantastic. I have the original and the 2100, and I use them both... the original for comic relief (let's see what it thinks I wrote this time!) and the other for normal PDA-ish thingsa nd for taking notes. Not often, but sometimes when I feel like something other than paper. Way, way, way ahead of its time.

I don't think it was really openly criticized like some of the products mentioned were, especially that Puck mouse. God that thing was terrible to use.
