| Perhaps my biggest criticism of it is the rejection of modern cloud-based tools, like continuous connection and sync. It allows synchronizing by sequentially scanning QR codes, bluetooth, wifi direct, and apparently an SD card called the [[https:// | Perhaps my biggest criticism of it is the rejection of modern cloud-based tools, like continuous connection and sync.

| - | Finally, the biggest other thing worth noting is that the on-board storage isn't encrypted. You can password protect the DM250, but that password is limited to 8 characters, and is not an encryption password. So if this thing is stolen, your data is too. But maybe the fact that I live in [[Japan]] is enough of a counter for this concern. | + | The biggest other thing worth noting is that the on-board storage isn't encrypted.

| + | * The calendar system does not seem to have any way to synchronize data to an SD card or to pull data directly off of it via PC link. I'm not sure why, but it seems like calendar data is stuck on the internal memory. This makes it a semi-annoying feature because the design and implementation are nice, but using it is not a reliable way to keep data. | ||
| + | * The soft touch plastic is extremely easy to scuff and get dirty. | ||
| + | * Some keys seem to randomly want to lift off of the keyboard on my unit -- but this is probably a quality issue with the keyboard and usually making sure the keycaps are on the switches properly resolves it. | ||
