I bought a Sharp Zaurus about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago, It's sync software has always seemed ok. Also you could buy better from Rupp (who no longer exists) if you liked. It's crap by today's standards, but it's never failed me. A whopping 2 megs memory, 1 reserved for flash backup, a small built in modem, expansion capabilitys (if you buy attachments made for it), I've kept it all this time, and have been using it all this time. The covers just about to fall off (super glue is it's best friend), but still, it's usefull. It has a keyboard with most of the keys, like a typewriter, the letters & such, no F keyes or a key pad. Now that I've switched to Linux though, I've had to keep a 1/4 gig windoz partition just so I could exchange info with it! Wine doesn't seem to wanna run the software, so I'm screwed. After this standard's been out a while, mabey I'll go buy a new 1 that'll work in Linux, or if I'm luckey as h*ll somewhere there wil be something for my beloved Zaurus to meet Linux directly.
