IMHO, the Nokia 770 (no it isn't a phone) is quite a good idea, it
runs linux and even has a flat stylus, a la OMP, I always liked that
design. It also has Wifi and Bluetooth built in and they said that in
a future update they might have screen rotation, In fact I think I
might get one anyway, even if Einstein isn't ported to it, but it
would be a brilliant platform to develop it on, it's even based on
the ARM9 processor! (it's also still in production, unlike the Zarus.
Or was that someone else that stopped making PDAs, I think it was
SHARP.....)
cheers,
Adam
