Harry,
I'm not so 'learnt', but I'll give you some input anyway...
1. No problem doing this with Zaurus. You can use calendar and contacts built-in or get other apps like 'tkcAddressbook' and tkcCalendar or KO/Pi and KA/Pi, etc.
2. There are PDF readers you can install. You can open MS Word/Excel, etc files using the built-in apps, Hancom Word and HancomSheet, etc...
3.There is a built-in movie player or you can install other player apps.
4. You can surf the internet with built-in web browser or get other app.
You can use the Zaurus the way it is out of the box and it will do most of what you want. By installing another app for PDF's it should do everthing you want.
If you want to go beyond that and learn about Linux you can do that to. But you don't have to. You can use it 'out of the box' much like a Palm or PocketPC and not really deal with the Linux part 'under the hood'.
Having used many other PDA's before getting a Zaurus, I can tell you that they are the best!
HTH,
Mark
hi guys
since all of you seem so learnt, help me with my queries'
i ma very new to pDA world.i am not some linux professional like many of the guys who buy zaurus.
The reasons i wanna buy PDA are'
1. to manage my schedules and make instant notes.
2. access all pdf word and other windows files on PDA.
3. see movies (avi ripped files) and listen songs
4. www
i am very impressed with zaurus since it comes with 4GB hardisk and willlike to buy it very soon.
the problem is that after going through forums it seems i have to be linux expert to get its fullest use.it may not play movies and net can also be difficult.
pls suggest still i should go for c3000(which i am dying to buy) or is there some better option for my needs.
