In other words, it isn t upgradable. No more lost styli, at least, not unless you contrive to somehow lose the entire unit. Two little nubs on either side of the stylus hold it in place inside the groove, which is why it s initially a little difficult to slide it out again. Presumably these little nubs will wear down a little with use and make it easier to get the stylus out. The leather cover is fairly rigid, and is hinged so that you can flip it all the way back behind the unit, though it won t sit flat on the back.
More elaborate cases are also available from various third-party vendors.
Also on top are the IR port and contrast control button. Yep, that means we ve finally seen the end of the contrast wheel, all hail, all hail. When the unit is switched on, press the contrast control button to get a slider control onscreen. I say it s annoying because there is a tendency to keep pressing the power button by mistake when trying to remove the recalcitrant stylus from the right hand groove. This way, the only thing you might press by mistake is the contrast control button, but this has no effect when the unit is switched off.
