I've been thinking about what a handheld computer COULD be.
My image is heavily influenced by my recollection of Palm Pilot.
My needs include:
>2 hours battery life
4" by 7" nominal form factor
touch screen input using a stylus
display will be entirely character mode (40 chars/line would be OK)
OS GUI not required except to say where stylus is
OS shall be FOSS {Debian preferred, non-free drivers???}
I suspect even a Pi Zero should be able to handle most needs.
I've not found found user friendly selection guides.
A typical problem was not being able to know if a selection of
components had mutually compatible I/O (electrical and physical).
I've never used a Pi and need something to give me perspective.
I date back to days of CPM-80 on a S100 system.
Suggestions which don't reference Android &/or smart(sic) phones?
TIA
