Zaurus rocks!How many pda(or is it personal mobile tools) can you ssh into? you can use OpenZaurus instead of the default rom supplied by sharp. Zaurus has its downside too. The batteries run out fast. real fast if you use wireless(i guess john has the best low power consumption CF card). Right now I sync it with evolution with multisync over my wireless network. never really got ethernet over USB to work under linux once i got wireless working i never even cared to look at sync using USB. Honestly zaurus won't even come close to a your need(workingout/jogging). I think it would be better to use RioSport or something similar.
Now I would like to get my hands on these http://www.dynamism.com/zaurus/ unfortunately they are not sold in the US! Overall zaurus is a neat tool.these days i use it more for wardriving. Its fun to see so many unsecured networks. karthik On Mon, 2003-12-22 at 17:15, Cleve Allison wrote: > will hill wrote: > > On 2003.12.21 16:55 Cleve Allison wrote: > > > > > Come on guys.......I can't believe that I can't get a reply from THIS > > > group when asking for an opinion!!!! ;> > > > Haha, I've changed my specs anyway......and made thing easier on myself > > > in the process. > > > Now I'm looking for a mp3/ogg player that has a usb flash drive as its > > > foundation......as long as I'm using a distro with a relatively recent > > > kernel then the support will be built in. > > > So now its just a matter of finding one that is physically designed for > > > workingout/jogging. > > > Again, I'm all ears.......and for those of you that have seen my big > > > freaking ears, I've heard all the one-liners....believe me!!!!
