Is there a reason no one has suggested the Compaq iPaq? They
are expensive, but you can load Linux on them and get a fair
number of expansions options (someone is even working on a
GSM cell phone expansion sleve for them).

A few months ago I would have recommended a Psion (series 5 or the
cutesy Re
cases within the first week :(
The Agenda is generaly a cool thing cause it's running Linux and their is
much stuff to play around with it. BUT it's not ready to simply plug in the
akkus and use it like a Palm. So nothing for Linux newbies ...

The handspring visors, and quite a few other PDA devices use the PalmOS.
Sync software cares what OS th

Erin,
I have been looking for the ultimate cell/pda combination for a while.
the answer depends on where yo
iends are doing.
So here arises my prolem: probably the best deal for me, OS aside, would
be a Handspring model PDA because they are highly expandable moreso than
Palm PDAs, and if I'm basically utilizing this as a laptop, well, I'm
sure there is some kind of module/upgrade thing tha

There's something called psilin that's supposed to sync, but the docs are
in French, so I haven't tried it yet.
Dont write off EPOC devices so quickly. PSION are doing quite well at
the moment with the Revo and they are very popular here in the UK.
I use a 5MX and its very good with a slot for flash expansion cards

I've got a Palm IIIe (yes, th dinky memory job), which serves me fine.
I could see 8MB being an asset over the 2 MB I've got, but otherwise
have no major complaints.

So, anyone on this list have a "gotcha" warning for me? I'm thinking

Only one: $200 Palms have b/w display, AAA batteries and serial connector,
as opposed to colour display, built-in battery and serial+USB connector of
$400 models. The only thing that really matters IMO is expansion slot: you

I too need to buy a PDA this week. Could those offering advice on this
thread also consider any knowledge they have about cell-phone/modem
integration? I understand that the Palm 7 can come with a modem. But can you
get a cell phone in there too?
I also looked at the literature for a cell phon
I'm using a Palm IIIxe and a Siemens S25 with the infrared port to login
with SSH on my machine when I'm on the road, works good. The onlything
is I've got to findout how to adjust my terminal settings because the
fonts are very small. But overall I'm rather happy with it.

Screen size is reduced from a normal PDA.
