From its space-age frogdesign case to its swinging screen, the Clio breaks new ground. The Clio's basic specifications closely match those of the Jornada and the MobilePro 800. It is powered by an NEC VR4111 MIPS processor, comes with 16MB of RAM, 24MB of ROM, a PC Card Type II slot, and space for a CompactFlash card behind the lithium-ion battery. The Clio's case is slightly smaller than the other two cases, but it's noticeably heavier at 3.2 pounds. Above all, the Clio is designed for inveterate note-takers.
Calligrapher works better than most handwriting-recognition programs, though it is far from perfect.
Practice improves your success, and even with errors, we became addicted to jotting down notes and quick reminders during meetings. The keyboard, for example, is curved slightly back toward the screen, which is guaranteed to have most typists constantly hunting for the right key. But if your prime concern for getting a Windows HPC Pro is to impress others with your high-tech sense of style, the Vadem Clio will certainly deliver.
