Power Center seems to no longer be available so there's no link to it I could find. You are finding the U to be as useful as I am. It's a remarkable device that has completely replaced my laptop on the road. Having a full WinXP setup at all times is invaluable to me, and with the touch screen it has unlocked the inking capability in OneNote. I practically live in OneNote for my multiple projects and it is so cool to be able to ink in a quick note or diagram in OneNote. It's worth the price of admission to me alone. As for the case, I have settled on a Victorinox tiny backpack that can also be used over the shoulder or as a waist pack. It might look geeky but it works very well and lets me carry the U in the optional case with the stand. I can whip out the U and keyboard when I need extended data entry and get real work done. I am so much more productive now that I can actually work data as opposed to mostly just viewing data on the PPC. I am finishing up a thorough review of the U70 for my website which I hope to get published before I head for Vegas tomorrow for some well deserved R & R. I have found that an easy way to set the keyboard to English for use with US USB keyboards. If you have installed MS Office 2003 make the language bar visible on the taskbar. There are two language settings- one for Office and one for the keyboard. The keyboard setting becomes a simple toggle to switch between the Sony Japanese KB and an English one. Key positions then migrate as expected. Enjoy! Glad you liked the utilities, Dean. Power Center seems to no longer be available so there’s no link to it I could find.
