The software on the Zoomer compresses data as much as it can--all data. Ink,
however, is not stored as "bitmapped data" but as a series of strokes. The
compression for each stroke actually is pretty good, and it eliminates all
the redundant points (e.g. a four-inch straight line might take up 14 bits or
something). Thus, Ink in some cases can actually take less storage than
text, depending on how complex the ink image is.

I'll let others speak to the other issues.

Pete.Subj: When will be available?
