To PAD or Not to PAD?

Found this interesting blog entry on using a PAD (Personal Analog Device) and not using a PDA.

Quote from chrisbrogan"s blog:

But for me, for getting things done, for GTD as the kids call it, I like my PAD. (Someone else coined the phrase "personal analog device." Please remind me who.)

Pads are portable- I can whip my memo pad out of my pocket easy cheesy. AND I can sit on it.

Pads are fast- I can boot my pad in the time it takes to flip the cover.

No special language- Instant handwriting recognition.

Great Graphics- I can render pictures in incredible detail.

Always synched!- What"s on the page is true until I cross it off.

Theft-resistant- Who wants to steal a cheap notepad?

He recommends Mead Notebook

I Recommend the Moleskine Reporter.

Very interesting!
I like the acronym…PAD.
Pun intended, I assume.

Ah yes, Mr. Moleskine, but mine costs a buck and yours costs 20. : )

I own the Reporter, blank edition, for sketches. I think my little cardboard band was purple.

Thanks for the link!
