I had an eMate and it was (and still is - if you replace the battery pack) an exceptional device for taking notes and focused distraction free writing.

What makes it great for these tasks is that it wakes from sleep instantly and puts you right back where you were in your document as fast as you can open it. Saving is automatic. You just open it up, type some stuff, and close it again. It's light, rugged, and the battery lasts all day.

What's not great anymore is that it's non-trivial to transfer your writings to a modern system. However, it is still possible.

Kind of like the Freewrite. So there is definitely still a market for these devices today....

(I had an eMate 300 and loved it btw, along with the replaceable batteries)
