Yes, this looks promising. The thing I don't like about Palm, Visor, et al.
is that they are glorified organizers. I want a general purpose computing
device.
BTW, do you have any idea if Midori (http://midori.transmeta.com) would fit
in with the Agenda VR3?

Subject: Re: [newbie] Anybody using a PDA w/ Linux?
I have a developers edition of the Agenda vr3. It's pretty cool. You can
upgrade the kernel and stuff, write little batch scripts to do things, and
all the other mundane stuff pdas do. It has console mode and a little X
screen. I haven't messed with all that much. I upgraded the kernel and
synced (flashed) it over thru minicom and wrote a little light on and light
off script. They have a mailing list that I haven't even read from in a
couple of months. (I have almost 2000 posts I haven't read.)
It's neato, I just don't have time.
