HIT:Dreamwriters or similar

[PFox55 <PFox55@AOL.COM>]

Thanks to all who responded! I quickly received many suggestions.
 There seem to be four machines mentioned. Dreamwriters and Alphasmarts are
two similar  products on the market now, selling for about 225.00 each. They
don't have a word processing program, but allow the user to download what has
been typed into a computer and change the typing by using the word processor
that's on the computer.
  Dreamwriter is coming out with the DreamWriter IT in the fall which is based
on Windows CE. It is supposed to have a suite of Microsoft programs;
spreadsheet, database and word processor, probably modified versions. It is
supposed to also come with a modem and a built in network card. $800 is the
price that is projected now for the DreamWriter IT.
  Geobook is similar to the DreamWriter IT and is available now. It has built
in touch pads, emial, a web browser, and a modem; and comes in either b&w or
color. The price mentioned for the b&w version on sale was $500. The Geobook
word processor is wysiwyg and "based on the excellent Geoworks suite from some
years ago."
  The 4th one mentioned is called QuickPADs by Perfect Solutions, Inc.
Although she's not sure if Word can be used on them, some people from Bettie
Fisher's school saw them at a conference and were impressed. Their web site is
