If you want a Palm, fix your Palm or buy another off ebay. It might be easier than you think to fix. Palms are still more practical for battery life, durability, and sync.
My little brother fixed his Palm III last year after two or three years of it being broken. It turned out to be a trivial loose parts issue that showed up in web searches. If you can't fix the old one, you can get a new old one! Old Palms are everywhere. I recently bought my wife a Handspring Visor on ebay for $26, and I imagine similar Palm devices would be as cheap. If you use Outlook, I'm sure Zaurus will be an improvement over Wince and you will love it. It's still not as easy as Palm which is well dealt with by both Gnome and KDE but a Zaurus is a nifty tool. OpenZaurus is incredible and someone like you would have a great time with it. Opie has miniature versions of all the KDE stuff and I'm told that it's almost as easy to sync as Palm now. GPE brings the whole world of X to Zaurus and I think it syncs with Evolution. I've got Dillo, Mini-Mozilla, OpenSSH and a few other nice programs working on GPE. It's only a matter of time before someone makes a wireless ssh sync work and then OpenZaurus will be the easiest thing to sync in the world. Right now it's not but it has other things to offer you might enjoy. On Thursday 16 June 2005 09:13 am, Richards Jr, Edward C. wrote: > That sounds like a helluva deal and I am in the market.
