Well, I did it. After weeks of deliberations over PDAs, I got a Sharp Zaurus. Other possibilities were to get a Sony Clie (dead small and nice screen) or the small Toshiba Pocket PC. In the end I ruled out the Clie because of proprietory hardware and Palm OS, and I ruled out the Pocket PC because after trying an iPaq for a couple of weeks I didn't get on with the user interface.
I haven't had the chance to use it much yet, but things I hope to do include:
- Using the Blackdown ARM port of J2SE 1.3
- Getting TCP/IP running over the cradle and InfraRed (so then I can use VNC Server on it)
- Getting a RSS client working to download blogs and Jira reports
- Getting a Web-slurping thing working for reading web pages on the tube.
