I'd be interested to see how well the interface works." The English link may be more useful. From the price listed on the site, it would sell for US$560.

  1. A bit expensive by jeti · · Score: 3, Interesting

    With 649,- EUR, I think it's a bit on the expensive
    side. Especially since I'm perfectly content with a
    paper address book.

    But if I can install my own sowftware easily, it
    could still be a neat toy.

  2. Does it sync to a Linux desktop? by Davoid · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I mean it is all very nice and all that they have Linux running a PDA but what use is it to me if it can only sync to a Windows desktop.

    All the Linux based PDAs seem to have the same problem... Windows desktop only. I can understand that it requires a Windows desktop for economic reasons. I already have a PalmVx that has several Linux desktop environments to choose from and they work fine.

  3. Lefties? by blkros · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Do they make one for lefties? Or is it just like everything else in this right-hand centric world?
