I recall E. A. Draffen has commented on some ideas about PDAs and their use with disability.

Hi All,
Just a quick query, I am wondering has anyone come across any studies =
done or report written recently on the accessibility of standard PDA's? =
I am trying to track down some information on peripherals available, =
software that may have been developed and any outstanding criticism of =
the standard applications available. Any information providing a =
critique of PDA interfaces would also be useful if anyone has come =
across these.
Thanks in advance.......
