Ric, I jumped on the bandwagon early so I've got a Palm but as far as the Zaurus is concerned. I played with them at Linux-World and yes they are fast and very full featured. Question is ... What features do you need? Most PDA's other than the Palm only sync with windows. (Not sure on the Zaurus. So first do you want to have to boot to windows to sync your PDA? Palm on the other hand is syncable with Linux exactly the same as with Windows. It also syncs with Evolution so if you use Evo you have full sync capability for more than just a backup. Finally if all you are doing is using it as a data store (Names numbers todo's memo's etc.) Why not stick with a basic Palm? You don't sound like you need the games. Wireless Web (although Palm has this) or any of the other features. Oh and when I speak of Palm, Handsprings falls into this category as well.... Since the OS is the same. At Fry's here in Cali you can pick up a Handsprings that's been re-built by the factory for slightly more than half the price of a new one, and still has full factory warranty.
