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.

I just want to get online without using my anytime minutes on my cell phone, and without paying an exorbatant fee. The phone seems capable of some slow web browsing.
Oh and whoever said a 400 ARM is comparable to a PI, what in the world gives you this idea?
A friend of mine has a system about the size of the one posted above. It has a 129MHz MIPS, and it runs for about 10 hours on one battery. It's very nice, it records video live and has a nice video camera attached. He bought it used for $400. It has a fully keyboard that is usable (no rubber keys). It's very nice. Obviously it was a well built technology as it was not popular.
People buy suck crap, I hate being a niche market. I wanna pay for quality desktop equipment with full support. That means drivers!
