You may want to check out the Sharp Zaurus -

   http://www.myzaurus.com/

This is a device from Sharp, designed from scratch to run Linux. Similar 
gadget to Palm, iPaq, et al. They take all sorts of addon gadgets - IBM 
microdrives, compact flash & secure digital memory, wireless ethernet 
(802.11b), camera, modem, USB port, etc.

Having said that I have no experience with one, but some people on gllug 
(greater London) have reported them as most cool indeed!

Cheers,
Jon

But vision with work is the hope of the world.
