[wellylug] PDA's/Pocket PC's

[Colin & Josephine Lewis]

hi there Jethro,
I am looking at upgrading my Palm M100, which I syncs fine with Linux - I am 
currently using J Pilot under Mdk, but did have it syncing OK with evolution 
previously.  I was looking at the Palm Tungsten E, but am not considering an 
Acer PDA from DSE, which runs Palm OS4.1, so would expect it to still sync 
with Linux OK.  These have 16mb Ram, plus an external media slot, colour 
screen and double as a MP3 player.  Most importantly they are only $249, 
which is $200 cheaper than the Tungsten E.  I haven't actually bought one 
yet, but am likely to within the next week or so.

Could be worth checking out.
