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):
1) the ability to watch videos (preferably XviD) and listen to mp3s
2) excellent battery life
3) small form factor (current PDA is 2.9" x .6" x 4.4" ... don't want
anything much bigger than that)
4) plays nicely with Linux (or at least with OS X) ... I don't need
calendar/pim syncing capabilities--just the ability to transfer files
on and off the thing.
5) wireless internet access would be nice, especially if it could run
opera mobile.
6) nice library of time-wasty games available
7) stands up to a reasonable amount of abuse (like being in my pocket
all day)
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
Anyone want to share their love stories/hate stories about their PDAs?
Thanks in advance,
~ Ross
