    That was the fastest Slashdotting ever. Seriously. I clicked the link right after the article became available to non-sunscribers. It just goes to show, even though you can get complex applications like Apache to run on a PDA, it isn't always the brightest idea.

    Dude, did you, like, convert the article into a telegram before you posted it or something?

    You're too late buddy. "Does it run Linux" is so 2002. The current buzz-question is "does it support Ogg Vorbis?".

    Dynaism would be overflown with orders...

    The so-called "clamshell" design means that the PDA opens like a tiny laptop. If cigarettes weren't so unfashionable, I'd prefer to call this a "cigarette case" design, in the style of the multi-functional gadgets used by James Bond. I showed the C750 to a number of people, geek and non-geek, and everybody liked it. It was unusally [for a computer] popular with the ladies.

    Finally Sony has developed a chick magnet for geeks.

    There is a built-in help system but unfortunately it has not been translated from Japanese.
