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.

Hi,
I am here on the same wave with Eugenia. No need for organiser. As for cell phone, I have "old" Nokia 6310i, my brother has Erickson T610, but still - unless I can completly use it as a PC, but ulatra portable. I looked into several PocketPCs, T-mobile MDA, but it still lacks something:
1) I wonder Eugenia did not mention keyboard suppor? That touch screen is nice, but hardly usable for anythin more than having nice toy in your pocket :-)
2) I don't need another limiting app here or there. I want DB, scripting environment (eg Rebol/View) and exposed API, so I can make my own organisers, callers, etc. I think that some companies are starting to understand it, at least in regards to corporate sphere.
As for Windows vs. Linux, I don't care so much, if I get good browser, mailer, scripting, and some kind of office apps.
cheers,
