So I'm thinking about getting a new PDA, and I'm wondering what you folks would recommend. I've made up a little list of things that are important to me, roughly in order of importance (most important things listed first):
I would recommend my favorite PDA. The Hipster PDA http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/Hipster_PDA
1) the ability to watch videos (preferably XviD) and listen to mp3s
Well, no. Unless you have a great imagination.
2) excellent battery life
YES
3) small form factor (current PDA is 2.9" x .6" x 4.4" ... don't want anything much bigger than that)
YES
4) plays nicely with Linux (or at least with OS X) ... I don't need calendar/pim syncing capabilities--just the ability to transfer fileson and off the thing.
YES, works with any OS
5) wireless internet access would be nice, especially if it could run opera mobile.
nope
6) nice library of time-wasty games available
Tic-Tac-Toe anyone?
7) stands up to a reasonable amount of abuse (like being in my pocket all day)
YES, especially the Pierced edition. http://www.makingstuff.net/drupal/node/18
8) the ability to write my own programs for it would be nice, particularly if java was available on it, and especially if there's an emulator or dev environment for it that works on Linux/OS X
Write any "program" you want! Well, actually it is more of a PAA (Personal Analog Assistant). --lonnie
