have you heard of openmoko? they've recently released a handheld linux computer/phone/pda called the freerunner. it has gps, microsd (sdhc) slot, 640 x 480 screen, and a completely open programming environment, and mostly free drivers there are several excellent apps developed for it, including tangogps, for osm map viewing, navit, and plenty of others, plus i think there's something on the go for mobile mapping. it'll do logging to the microsd slot, and has bluetooth 2 for earpieces etc. have a look here for more info: wiki.openmoko.org it goes for around 400 us mine arrives next week, i'll tell you how it goes if anyone's interested _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
