Yep, I just bought a Pocket PC to give me some additional time to catch up 
with stuff while I'm on the move - I got an RX1955 iPAQ from HP and would 
definitly recommend one (I'm actually considering getting one or two more 
for other family members I'm that happy with it).

I think reading is better for detail, but sometimes I just want an overview 
of a load of topics that will let me pick the ones I want to read into after 
so's that I don't need to spend too long reading each one sequentially to 
see what's going on. I'd like to be able to put my earphones in and catch up 
whilst I'm walking along.

I thought it'd be good, for instance, to do something like "What's new this 
week!" and take some of the topics you post up on a regular basis, for 
example, and just do a super quick review of what's said to allow people to 
keep up to date without needing to necessarily be on all the lists or deal 
with the full volume involved.

As MB suggested, it's never going to fully compete with text for detail, but 
that shouldn't be the aim of these ideas anyway - more just to cluster bomb 
with the primes for reading the detail.
