Inexpensive Handhelds for Linux?

Dr. Manhattan asks: "My PDA was stolen on a business trip, and I'm looking for a replacement. I've enjoyed Palms for their simplicity and long battery life, but I'm not afraid to program and I'm considering something that can run Linux. However, my budget is rather limited; $150 is all I can spend. Relatively obsolete tech is fine, but I'm looking for: good battery life (my old Palm could run for weeks on a charge; I'm hoping for double-digit hours), dual expansion slots, all of the onboard hardware solidly supported by Linux. Does such a beast exist in my price range?"

Sorry but not in your price range.
Plus Linux PDA are still in the "hacker" or "geek" area so the lack of programing could make difficult.
The Dell Axioms look very nice. Now if they would just run Linux....

I hear the new Palm OS will run Linux as the base much like Mac OS/X runs BSD.

I for one would really like to see Apple create a new Newton. Xscale 600 mhz, BSD, airport, ,bluetooth and all the yummy UI goodness that Apple seems to have. down pat.
It would probably come with a hard drive so it would be an IPod replacment as well.
Why can I just see it interfaceing with a car so that it hooks to your cars' entertainment and navigation system as well. Hummmm.
