OK,

As it's that time of year, who can recommend a decent PDA that works within
the confines of my strict software requirements (er.. works in GNU/Linux and
M$ Outlook)

Ideally I would be after a GNU/Linux powered one, that also can act as a
GPS, but thats not essential..

Ok.
A pda that isn't linux based but that works fantastically well with linux
over usb and has lots of linux apps for it is the Palm T3. an oldy but
goodie.

I just got rid of my windows powered pda for one picked up off ebay for £80
as I used to have one before. Not linux for at least not windows. Can be
themed to look like KDE though.
Rock solid os. Interopbility with windows outlook, but also works with
evolution mail throuth gnome conduits.
I seem to have read some alpha projects of linux being used on it. Google
perhaps ?
Good choice I reckon if money is a consideration. Has the open source tcpmp
media player for ogg music and mp4 video etc. email,browisg over gprs. Up to
1.5 gb sd/sdio cards.
Check out palmopensource
