Re: [LUG] Linux PDAs

 

Having observed the PDA scene for the past 18 months or so, all I can say
is that the market moves almost as fast as the phone & digital camera
markets, and I would wait until the funds are available before evaluating
anything too closely.

The market will change completely in 3 or 4 months, and the chances are
that the model you originally favoured will have been superceded, or
probably bettered by a different manufacturer.

But yeah, the Sharp Zaurus line is probably the best supported Linux PDA
platform. I'd go for one if I could justify the expense! Am still
perfectly happy with my £50 VTech Helio (circa 2001, about £3 on eBay)..
