I think its still up in the air - lots of Linux PDA's are coming - the next
year is going to be really interesting. Yesterday I got my hands on a developer
edition of the Linux powered Agenda VR3 (http://www.agendacomputing.com).
It is cool - very - its weird been able telnet into it.

Must have a look see - what are its requirements?

The VR3 still needs work - I'm not impressed by its window manager
but it isn't officially launched yet and it is quite cheap.

I've heard bad things about the reliability of iPaqs and the batter life is
