PDA or handheld computers for ID in the field ?

I have had a few inquiries about a list of interactive keys on the web. I gave a
talk awhile ago and showed a list of 40 different implementations. Here are a
few of the less obvious examples. There are many ways to do an interactive key
in its most simple form. Each of these has something (sometimes very minimally)
novel about it. For example, there are a several different implementations of
Navikey here in which it is extensively to minimally modified to run under
different contstraints or on diffferent systems. One is a major rewrite. This
is just a messy list with no particular focus but it may save someone some time
or inspire a good idea.
