I am sorry for posting this in English, but ...

I was wondering if somebody has any first-hand experience
with either the Sony PTC300 or the Sharp PV-F1 palmtop
organizers. 

In particular, I am wondering about the quality of the OCR
software. I tried the Sony for a while in a store, and
noticed, that I had to be extremely careful when entering
Romaji characters. For example, I could only enter a "T" by
being very precise, otherwise I always would get "½½". Are
either of these palmtops trainable to one's own handwriting?

Also, I was wondering, is it possible to find the HP95 LX
palmtop here in Japan?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
