	AlphaSmart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The AlphaSmart is a keyboarding device that enables a person to work on the go, much like a laptop computer, but is strictly for word processing only, as it functions essentially like a simple digital typewriter.
		The AlphaSmart took on the aesthetics of the computer it was intended to be partnered with; it had a boxy, durable beige plastic case like the Macintoshes of that era.
		In January 2000, the AlphaSmart 3000 was released.

	Pen Computing Magazine: AlphaSmart Dana
		AlphaSmart is billing it as a "notebook replacement." Sounds odd at first, especially for those who use their notebooks for so many power-hungry jobs, like storing and displaying photos, playing MP3 files, and even playing DVDs while on the road.
		AlphaSmart has several years experience in this area because of their nine years making computers like the AlphaSmart 3000, a non-Palm OS typing computer for schools (reviewed in the last issue).
		AlphaSmart has long sought to address the needs of all students, so there are many interface enhancements built in, with more in the works.

		Karen has found the AlphaSmart to be a lifesaver with many students with disabilities she has worked with in the past and currently teaches.
		Some of the unique features of the AlphaSmart that are beneficial to students with disabilities and their classroom settings and assignments are portability, expense, mode of operation, and organization.
		The AlphaSmart can also be set up for four different keyboard layouts, two of which includes either right or left-handed typing which would be beneficial to students who may have better use of one hand over the other.

	ATPM 8.12 - Review: AlphaSmart Dana
		AlphaSmart’s latest revision, the Dana, looks similar but actually goes far beyond the capabilities of the 3000IR, serving as a sort of cross between it and a laptop computer.
		AlphaSmart claims the Dana can be used for 25 hours on one charge, though using the backlight will naturally drain the battery faster.
		I have used an AlphaSmart 3000 for 3 years and I must admit that, while I love some of the new features of the Dana, if I just want to write, I find the simplicity of the AlphaSmart 3000 cannot be beat, even by the Dana.

	ATPM 6.05 - Review: AlphaSmart 3000IR
		The AlphaSmart 3000IR is basically a keyboard, with a few connectivity ports and a four-line, 40-characters-per-line LCD screen.
		While the AlphaSmart is connected to your computer, its keyboard works as a normal Mac keyboard, so you can’t type on your AlphaSmart while it’s connected to a Mac.
		Cables are not included, but AlphaSmart will sell you a standard (and thankfully long...why does Apple think we all keep our keyboards within three feet of our Macs?) USB cable for $10, or a “Mac Y cable” for the same price, if you want to use ADB.

	Connections: AlphaSmart 3000
		The AlphaSmart 3000 is a simple, highly-portable and affordable classroom device that allows every student in class to create, edit and store their own original compositions and essays.
		Typing speed on the AlphaSmart can also be enhanced with the built-in feature of being able to switch from the standard QWERTY keyboard layout to Dvorak or even layouts designed for one-handed use for either hand.
		The AlphaSmart word processor is recommended for these students due to its simplicity, its ease of use in a variety of settings, and the ease with which written material can be modified, checked and printed.

		AlphaSmart strongly supports the educational community, and you can find details of what AlphaSmart can do for students and teachers on their website, too.
		My AlphaSmart fits well into this catalyst role, as well as being an excellent writing tool that is a pleasure to use.
		When my AlphaSmart starts reminding me that I have mail, or that I have a noon meeting, or that someone I have absolutely no interest in talking to is waiting for me in Chat Room, I’m outta here.

	LD Resources » The Alphasmart Keyboard for The College Student
		During group conversations and studying, they pass the Alphasmart amongst themselves and type in individual interpretations of course material as well as notations on the class notes and readings.
		Before the Doubting Thomases come calling with their arguments that an Alphasmart is not as versatile as a laptop, or as powerful as a PC, or as capable as any number of word processing programs; let’s take a step back for a moment think about what we are really talking about here.
		For those of you (like me) who have never taken a keyboarding class and hunt and peck their way through the writing process, the Alphasmart allows you to reconfigure the keyboard to the Dvorak layout, which is much easier to use.

	The Gadgeteer - AlphaSmart Dana Palm Powered Laptop Review
		Tossed into a backpack, briefcase, or even a special AlphaSmart tote bag, it would be a negligible addition to your arsenal.
		AlphaSmart reps take a special pleasure in telling people about how durable the Dana is, and promptly dropping it straight down to the floor from a perilous height of 4 or more feet.
		With a loud bang the Dana bounces around on the floor, and the rep snags it and shows how there is no damage and the unit still functions properly.

		Though this isn't available yet, AlphaSmart is writing drivers to allow the Dana to connect to the Internet with USB modems.
		In fact, I can't give you an exact figure of the Dana's battery life because despite extensively playing around with it and writing this review on it, the unit I've been testing is still on its first charge and isn't even half way discharged.
		AlphaSmart says it will last 30 hours before needing to be recharged and I think that's quite possible.
