we got one a few days ago for the office to see how students could benefit from it

I'm still amazed at how it can record and playback audio simply by pointing the pen at any part of a page you've written to.

I'm a keyboard note-taker myself, but for the students still hand-writing notes, this will be the next "revolution" in note taking. Mark my words

About that whole large font thing, this post offically takes up 80% of my 15.4" screen...

Something needs to be done about this obnoxious font-size!

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. In vitae nulla. Fusce vehicula augue eu metus. In massa lorem, tristique et, interdum sit amet, egestas in, libero. Mauris dui. Maecenas suscipit adipiscing tellus. Ut at ipsum at odio eleifend tincidunt. In venenatis odio et nisi. Nullam mauris tellus, tempor vel, suscipit eget, congue egestas, enim. Vestibulum vitae lacus et metus commodo tempus. Maecenas venenatis ante sed sapien.

Might I suggest a base font size of 13px, with a line height of 1.5em(1.7em has always been too much for my taste), and the width of the article content near 600px?(this block of text is 660px wide, with a font size of 13px, and a line-height of 1.5em)

Just for the record, this post is damn near 11" wide on my monitor. Most of the others are an almost as equally egregious 9.5".

Or, could you at least let us know when you're done futzing around with it? That way I only have to custom tailor it to my liking once, as opposed to three to four times a day/week.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort.

Makes a good size for the permalink, dontcha think?
