First Looks at Linux DA PDA

e1en0r writes "My Linux DA PDA finally arrived yesterday. It's a great PDA for under $100. I put up a review of it here. It's very similar to the Palm OS, with a few more interesting features. The most notable being the file manager. You can see where everything is and view all the files in text and hexadecimal mode. It also appears that you can overclock the 16 MHz DragonBall CPU up to 25 MHz. There are some screenshots on their site, which include the CPU Speed application. Unfortunately that application is lacking in documentation." The review is a little thin, but its still cool seeing these in the wild.

Why bother with a Linux PDA?

[Felinoid]

Making Linux run on a PDA was pritty cool.
It showed how flexable Linux really is AND has the additional benifit of producing improved code for the desktop/server Linux code.

It says if needed an imbeded Linux CAN exist. Linux CAN be stuffed ANYPLACE.

I like my Visor Neo...
Can I get a wireless modem for the Linux PDA? Unlikely... But I can plug a wireless into my Neo..
Mom has a wireless built in her Palm IIV

Can I get a camra for the Linux PDA?
Unlikely... But I can plug one into my Neo
Mom has a Kodak she uses on hers...

How about a GPS? Yeah just about every PDA ever made has a GPS. The ill fated Zoomer had a GPS.. My Neo.. moms Palm... but this? Unlikely..

This comes off like a toy.. and hurts the Linux credability...

I'll stick with my Visor thank you..
