<pre wrap="">I think the problem is that in the field they may not want to carry a keyboard. It gets quite awkward to try to walk and type on a keyboard at the same time. When using a touchscreen device, they can walk and enter information at the same time (using the stylus). So I'm not too sure how good this device would be for field use.

In the past I've deatl with this on the application level and kept the
data entry to a minimum where possible, free flowtext input is the
hardest though, I agree, but you can do wonders with a set of multiple
choice questions. :c)<br>

However, as it is quite cheap, it may work well for places where end-users are able to utilize a keyboard/mouse/etc.
Also I see that you can plug in 1 USB device, and with the expansion board you can use up to 4 USB devices. That could come in quite handy.

Keyboard.
There were also some folks who have already gotten Bluetooth to
work.
Don't know how stable though, but it would allow for Keyboards.
