I think 'Soaring Flight Computer' is the coolest response.

I use my c860 mainly for system administration.  SSH is a good tool.  As well, I like the typical games, mp3s and movies.  

Is it just my Zaurus, or does Ko/Pi load really slow for other people?  It looks very useful, but the fact that it takes a minute to load doesn't help.

reading is my number one use on the zauruses... ive read over 1000 ebooks on mine and the jogdial on the 860 makes it even better!
