I think so

But I guess that all depends on whether you think that's a problem or a good thing

On a slightly more serious note, there's a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm that is evident in these forums (addiction if you will ). Much research is conducted into the educational potential of PDAs which revolves around giving total novices a PDA, some software and some technical support. I think that we're missing a trick by not tapping into the knowldge of more experienced PDA users.

I hope to make a start with my preliminary study and then use what I find out to feed into my full PhD research project.

Can you imagine anything more fun than spending three years researching PDAs and Smartphones? I have every excuse to haunt the forums hourly!!!!
