iPaq run Windows CE standard, which has been likened to a steaming heap of
manure. But iPaqs can be mande useful by installing a Linux distribution
on them. The Zaurus does not even require the user to go find Linux, as it
is already installed.
The Zaurus is a very powerful, pocket-based computer, but I do not think it
is a better PDA than a Newton. The Newton is a preconfigured digital
_assistant_ , and as such nothing in the history of time has yet surpassed
it. But why be modest about it, eh?

My gut tells me that _if_ Apple ever re-releases a PDA, it will be a Palm
licensee, and you'd feel really really really lame if you bought that...
