General Discussion / Considering upgrading to Zaurus (from PalmIIIxe)

Thanks, I think that answers my questions.. I have a need to synchronize home and work computer schedules, the Palm at this point is almost entirely just a way to do it.  Sounds like I\'d love to have one, could probably use it for a variety of custom applications.. but for my \'day to day\' use.. perhaps it\'s going to be a Palm upgrade (I loathe to purchase anything related to M$).

hmm...the silence.. does that mean \'YES\' a Zaurus would do the job?  If so, any suggestions on which one?

I need a PDA that can handle syncing calendar and phone book on Linux and windows.  I\'ve got my Palm setup for this without any problem, and it looks like the Zaurus can do the same.

The main functions I need are address book and calendar which is almost all I use my Palm for (there\'s notes and the like as well).  I would also like an at least nominally secure means of storing private information (passwords to mail accounts and that kinda stuff), I\'m using eWallet on the Palm for that..at this time.

I want to upgrade for the following features:  Rechargable, 802.11b wireless and POP/IMAP/SMTP capable mail client.. Preferably able to sync via wireless as well to both the Linux and Windows boxes (on different networks, work and home ;-).

From what I can tell the Zaurus fits the bill, the FAQ\'s on connecting seem to be easy enough.. Anybody using Gentoo linux?  

Thanks, I hope to stick around...

Are there any national chains of electronic stores that carry Zaurii?  I\'d like to get a hands on look...
