You can do this with one of the palm clones. symbol technologies makes a palm with a wireless 10 mbitps ethernet connection. (www.symbol.com) the unit also has 8 mb of ram and rom. you basically need the symbol unit and a wireless ethernet bridge...
what frightens me, is that at college, none of the CS majors I know have even tried Linux. I'm a philospophy major --and an awful programer--, and I'm the only one I know personaly (sp?) who uses linux at ALL.
Symbol technologies manufactured their own versions of the palm III (actually they still do)
both of them modified to use a barcode laser scanner (one ruggedized and having rechargeable lithium batteries) the line is called PDT (portable Data terminals)
College is useful. Technology courses in college are less than useful. The point of college is not to learn specific facts -it is to learn technique, a mode of thinking, or a style. This is why I am a philosophy major instead of a CS major -because this is how philosophy students and professors approach college. Is doing exhaustive research on a paper discussing the disparity between the fictional Socrates and the historical Socrates useful because of what I said in my paper. Of course not, but the process of writing, researching, and defending one's work is. (the CS classes I take for my minor in computer science don't get this; instead the classes and assignments concentrate on making us do a problem a certain way, instead of allowing us the freedom to discover our own methods {which is why I got into Linux in the first place})
Am I going to become a philosopher? It's not likely -my plan is go to graduate school for IS--, but the process of studying has taught me, most how to adapt.
(on a more abstract level, I think sometimes that the entire system of undergraduate majors and Pre- tracks is a silly, stupid process which prevents many people from getting an education)
I've seen at least 3 palm models that weren't made by 3com. The Ibm Workpad (which was really a plam pro i know) the symbol pdt1000(or something) that was a palm III with a barcode scanner integrated --for use in inventorying) there was one other, but i can't think of it
becuase there is no such thing as a laptop with a good soundcard --- unrealated --does anyone know if you could plug this thing into a real stereo that would be well, awesome.

It's also the reason why you never hear happy birthday too you on any TV show in America
think hard --- you probably won't come up with a single occurance

as well as the co author of many truly excellent films
Brazil for instance
or Shakespheare in Love
pretty sure that was dana carvey
A lot of computers still use it (just like a lot of computers are running on intel 8088 chips (intel still makes themyou know)
embedded devices love DR-dos (it's small, fast when run from ram, and is compatable and easy to extend
symbol technology's myakes a palm clone ppt something or other with an wireless lan connection

think of the applications as this gets refined.

there are 2 palm oem's.
IBM
Symbol Technologies (I'm holding their palm III+scanner and laser pointer right now)
and
I've seen at least 3 palm models that weren't made by 3com.

the symbol pdt1000(or something) that was a palm III with a barcode scanner integrated --for use in inventorying)
