I already have a PalmV PDA with PalmOS 3.5. I never use it. I practically have absolutely no need for an organizer. Yet, I wanna buy a new one. That geek gene in me (that my mother unsuccessfully tried to kill over the years) what really wants is a "truly mobile PC" that just isn't a laptop. So, for the last few days I was shopping around the Internet for a new PDA (preferably a PocketPC this time) that would fit the kind of thing I am looking for. I was... horrified to find out that what I need isn't... invented yet.

Thanks for the suggestion Frank, however personally I am really not after a Linux PDA. It doesn't run software I want (especially 3D games ports from Windows' DirectX in the suggest PDA I mentioned in the article), plus other options are not available either like voice commands, handwrite recognition and stuff. Plus it wouldn't have web camera support for MSN or other IM messangers, or good video solutions.
If Sharp and others work hard on the PDA face of Linux, Linux PDAs might be an option in a few years from now (that is, for the kind of product I am looking for and described in the article). Until then, PocketPC or PalmOS 6 are the only viable solutions thus far.
