[slim] Handheld as UI for SlimServer

2006-01-16 Thread Michaelwagner

All this talk about the work being done for the Nokia 770 is making me
jealous. But it seems Nokia has no plans to release the 770 here in
Canada.

So I was wondering about other options.

Has anyone any experience using HP iPAQs for this?

If so, how well do they work? Any gotchas, things (or models) to
avoid?

Any other better PDAs for this sort of thing?

Didn't know Canada was as unimportant a market as Switzerland :-). Welcome  
aboard!

Is this SlimServer remote controlling? You then could really go with the  
least expensive wlan compatible pda with a decent battery lifetime. I'm  
still using my Zaurus 5500 with the Handheld skin - a dinosaur (the OPIE  
authors must have been aware of this: http://opie.handhelds.org/).

The bigger the screen the better you might think. But 640x480 won't offer  
enough for the normal skins while Handheld might not fill that space  
enough. I think I'll have to order the 770 somewhere abroad... (I do not  
only want it as a SB remote, but as a surf device, too).
