My Handera 330(PalmOS based) (www.handera.com) has some pretty nifty features like a high resolution screen, very long lasting lithium ion battery, and the capibility for SD/MMC and CompactFlash cards. Also, it works with Palm/PalmIII accessories. 33mhz Dragonball processor, 8mb ram. I use the SD/MMC socket to keep a flash card that I backup the 8mb of ram to periodically, so if my palm dies on the road I can just reload it after it gets a charge. Theres also a voice recorder, but I dont use it much. The voice recorder can record to SD/MMC or CompactFlash. The CompactFlash socket also accepts 802.11 cards. Downsides: non-high-res-enabled apps can be scaled to the higher res, but some apps have to be ran in a smaller windowed mode so they dont crash. network applications for the palm are ok at best. blazer is a good web browser, but doesn't work in high-res, and upirc is a great high-res enabled IRC client. SSH clients are still low res, but work. This doesn't keep me from using it on the way into work on the bus though. The upside of the device: clear screen, same form factor as a palm III, rabid peer support on some yahoo groups, the company that makes it has excellent customer support. Its still palmos, which actually has lots of useful apps for it. (the high-res mapping program mapopolis is awesome to have.) Still uses high-speed serial, so its easy to hack onto things and also easy to use with linux. Yeah, its not linux, but the linux PDA's just dont have that out-of-the-box can-do-anything that palmos has still. Perhaps that will change in a couple years, but palmos works for me still. -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org>
