speaking of linux machines, I expect to have a chance to poke around with one of the new sharp pda gizmos in the next couple of weeks. it's prime advantage being the presence of a keyboard (thumboard) and not having to flash linux onto it yourself. I'm unclear as to the status of things like the tts from qt-embedded and some of the other schemes for generating speech, but one of the forums I've seen recently talked about the sharp reading someone's email to them. that's a good sign.

As for line in and out, It definately has line out. I don't believe that it has line in. It does have a built in microphone.
