too heavy. a palm or handspring would be much lighter. they also have tiny
keyboards that fold out to full size. personally, I prefer a digital voice
recorder to make notes of my photos, however, this makes for more work when you
get home because you have to transcribe the notes.

Shop around for one of the digital recorders that has software allowing you
to download the files into your word processor. Saves typing. Try also to
find one that uses memory cards, either SD or xD, that can store lost of
files. I believe Olympus has several models.
