I just came across the following Linux PDA project. In the on again, off again continuing discussion on this list, it seemed useful to pass this along. Don't know any more than what I read on their page--including that I haven't had someone sighted describe the look of the unit to me yet. Please visit http://www.azpower.com/mylinux It is... home to a growing grassroots, open source Linux PDA project especially suited for the Linux Community. The PDA, really a Linux Workstation for your hand, is unique in that it is designed from the ground up to be a power-user's portable Linux system. In keeping with the tradition of the Open Source development model, this PDA is open to contributors with an interest in developing the coolest new Linux PDA ever. Featuring PCMCIA and CompactFlash slots, an HR-TFT Active Matrix LCD panel capable of displaying 64K colors and a whopping 256 MBytes of super fast SDRAM, this unit aims to fulfill the needs of even the most demanding Linux Advocate. Scheduled for early release to Linux Developers worldwide in April with full production planned in August 2001, this project brings the full power of 32-bit RISC processing home in this incredibly portable form factor. With a list of big-name sponsors including Hitachi, Xilinx, Sharp, Micron and Epson, this completely Open Source project seeks your active involvement. Help define this "Cool Linux" device.
