Depends on what you will be doing with the ppc

There are a number of input options on every ppc including two on screen
keyboards, two writing recogniton inputs and two character recognizers
plus third party on screen keyboards and handwriting input apps.

The keyboard shown in your url is a "thumb keyboard" that allows you to
type while standing using both thumbs... takes a little time to get used
to but can be fairly fast once you have learned the method... good for
quick verbose email input on the go.

If you are going to be generating a _lot_ of text, look at the full
keyboard options... most are now ir or bluetooth and full keyboards
require an available table to use but you can input as fast as on a
desktop pc.

post your nees and plans for a more concise answer.

Because you have no ideal for certain where the link takes you otherwise.
Well, not without some interesting acrobatics. Besides, using
me@privacy.net and posting a blind link isn't exactly encouraging...

That doesn't necessarily work, you can't be certain that the short link
is the same as any long link given- although you can just ignore the
shortcut and use the long one if it shows correctly.

Exactly... I'd rather take the time to patch together a broken url than
walking down a dark alley on the recommendation of someone I didn't know ;-)
