Craving For More Power
« on: October 21, 2005, 07:38:22 pm »
Hi,
I had a zaurus 5500 for like three weeks. during that time I learned two importent things:
A. linux on a pda is the way. the winCE/pocket has much less features.
B. a 200 Mhz aint strong enogth for the most of my needs.

Say I can't get a native running linux PDA (zaurus) what pda would you recomend?
I thought of the e800 from Toshiba, but the it is still under development.

I guess this must have been asked before. so may anyone give me key words to run a search?
