You are right. I am watching the PDA evolution for some time now and at first I favourized the Compaq IPAQ which can be run with a Linux version, too. Last May I bought a Zaurus and it was absolutely state-of-the-art! It runs on Linux, has a shell and all kinds of software including web browser, mail and news clients for net use; word processor and all kinds of other useful things including a complete pim. A nice thing for multimedia junkies is the movie player (mine ran a trailer of Spiderman as I bought it) and it plays mp3 of course. You can use all kinds of extensions and adaptors. You can also buy a webcam and - of course - a modem or network card. It has infra red and bluetooth as well. There's also a lot of software to download because Sharp has sponsored a developer's contest for the Zaurus. Oh, you can also download the developer's kit. All in All: I think it's the best thing in pda land so far. It has a built in keyboard and it runs on Linux. You want more? wobo -- "... and anyway, an html can't carry a virus."
