It allows you to organize your work and personal life; to integrate information with your personal computer; to communicate using faxes, pages, and e-mail; and to expand your capabilities with third-party solutions.
It has a built-in Notepad, to-do list, datebook, telephone log, and address file for organizing personal and business affairs, as well as Pocket Quicken to help organize personal and business expenses.

Pen-based navigation and data entry make finding information easy and fast.
Its improved recognition software transforms your handwriting into typed text. You can also print your information as it appears on its easy-to-read screen, or as fully formatted pages.
