Have been reading more reviews of the 3100 and cant seem to find any up close pics to answer this but is the plastic on the base of the unit(i.e containing keyboard/hd etc) a glossy type plastic like the 3000's base seems to be(but odvisly black instead of white) or is it a rough type plastic ? .. I ask this becuse I find the textured/rough plastics a pain to clean and ease of physical mantaince/cleaning is an issue for me for buying a PDA/PMP.

- I generally hate referring to others' work, but if it's not on Meanie's site, it's probably not possible.  (cheshire grin)  It's primarily C3K, though a good chunk of it applies to any of the new clamshell Zs.
- Any relation to Cynner?  (wink)

Meanies site has alot of infomation indeed.

One of the things thats makeing me more inclinded to purchese a 3100 is the shear amount of information available on the Zaurus series on the net vs some of the other options ive looked at PDA/PMP wise.

Who/What is Cynner ?

Hi all,

Am seriously considureing purchasing a 3100 mainly for use as a portable media player and also rather like the idea of messing around a little with linux on such a small system (Im not a linux expert or anything however, about as far as ive gotten is building and rebuilding a Gentoo system a few times)

As there are a fair few add-ons/modifications software wise that can be made to the Z's I was wondering if anyone here could give me an idea what a good combo of the various apps,roms and hacks would be to install on a 3100 should I get one for the purposes of useing it as a PMP ?

Also what is the general consensus here regarding the screen, how durable is it ?, should I buy a screen protector and if so which one would be the easyest to install, mantain and remove on the 3100 ?
