None that I know of, although I don't see why one of those handheld
computers shouldn't be able to play mp3 files. On the flip-side, is
the whole stylus thing all that necessary? I have a Sony Clie from
2002 - it's a wonderful little gadget, but I've never gotten all that
comfy with Grafitti. When I need to enter stuff, I prefer to do so
while at home, and then Hotsync it (which is necessary considering its
unpredictable battery-life); iPod itself comes with a calendar program
that syncs to Outlook; haven't seen if it comes with a to-do list, and
I haven't tried syncing its e-mail because I prefer my e-mail to stay
on my desktop.
