Let me help you out with some facts as opposed to your guesses:
the one-stroke, simplified characters just take less time to make and there's no pause while waiting for writing to be converted into text.
There is no pause on the Zaurus as it converts text.
And I'd guess that training the handwriting recognition system on the Zaurus to use graffiti would be an extraordinarily time-consuming task.
Wrong again. It's actually extremely easy to train it to new methods. Check the PDF manual available at the official site for more information.
I'd like to see a unit with a small but useable keyboard, instead.
I find the built in keyboard very usable. In fact, that's what I use the most. There are however external keyboards available including one that uses infrared(!)--no wires/cables.
Oh, right - then companies couldn't sell them for $200, or refuse to let customers replace their batteries and demand they buy a shiny new unit instead.
Wrong yet again. The batteries cost $50 retail. They're available even cheaper if you do a bit of searching. And the Zaurus's batteries (it has more than one) are fully replaceable.
...sort of. I guess after reading all the complaints here about their logo being too similar to Google, they've now changed it and replaced it with a image that says "New logo needed".
This is not flamebait. It's a direct quote from Yoper's website. While browsing Yoper's forum today, I came upon this post in this thread by the "Yoper Admin":
"We compiled, tested, packaged, compiled, tested, packaged, compiled, tested, packaged. Until one of you actually tries it how can you even start talking. It is a complete new Linux not based on anything else, targetting the i686 business market. You nerds arenot our business. You nerds are no ones business and this is the reason why as a community we fail to fight M$ properly. After years of dev you could have actually given it an objective go instead of slagging it off and blindly comparing it to slackware only because it was posted on/. in the same article as slackware. Ignorance is bliss. Stay in your matrix and stay blind. This is a business and not a charity organization for brainless and gutless chickens that fill a forum up with junk.
Stay with your Linux and leave us alone. Business users need us, since they are sick of YOU. We do not need brainless nerds with too much time on their hand. We need businesses who want to save time and money and save their behind from having to hire you." (emphasis added)
Amazing that a serious company would post a messag like this. Provides a true insight into their goals and intentions with releasing this distro (basically money).
The fan only runs at full RPM when the card is doing a lot of 3d work.
Not quite. The FX card actually turns the fans full blast the second 3d is detected in software (ie: a DirectX/OpenGL call is made). I thought (hoped) it would be based on the running temperature of the card (hardware RPM control) but unfortunately, it isn't.
Maybe you should actually read what he said and research if what he said is accurate or not for yourself instead of having 'Debian legal team'/'Anonymous Coward' do the thinking for you.

What's the point of having it built in if you can't use it? And also, note he was talking about ready to go and mot having to download third party addons.
Take a look at Kxine for an example. This is the beauty of GPL/OSS software--if you don't like it, extend/modify it to your liking and even go one step further and share it with others, unlike this JWZ/flamebait character.
Quake 3 actually switches the monitor to a 60Hz refresh rate
Erm. No, some *operating systems* (Windows XP/2k being examples), switch all games to 60Hz rate for some idiot reason. Win98 and such don't have this behavior (if you choose "Optimal" in the refresh rate setup). Also, Q3 I know for a fact definitely doesn't use a 60Hz refresh on Linux. Whatever settings you have setup in your XF86Config are used--as they should be.
If you're using Linux as the main OS, then the best choice would definitely be the nVidia card. The nVidia drivers are much more mature than the ones for the Radeon (Catalyst). The nVidia card/drivers have not failed me yet.;-)
The point is, the people who purchased the DVD want to see all that they saw in the original screening (plus more maybe because of the bonus features on the DVD).
Reframing it because they simply didn't like how it looked is like getting the Mona Lisa with the bottom part cut off because it 'was framed strangely'.
I'd rather not have to whip out my cell phone and an extra modem and cable to look up an address on my Palm.
Actually, many Palms have infrared support and if your cellphone also supports IR, the there's no need for a cable.Many phones also have modem capability making an additional modem also unnecessary.

"And with its 144MHz Texas Instruments OMAP1510 processor and 16MB of RAM..." (I was 1Mhz off in my memory;-) )
I can't find a URL for the 175Mhz processor information but the Tungsten is underclocked to conserve battery power and also because running at the full 175Mhz brought up some incompatibilites.
This is for Palm OS 5 and currently is targeted for the only OS 5 PDA out right now--the Tungsten.
The Tungsten has a 175Mhz processor and can handle mp3s and OGG fine.
You would save it on an expansion card. But since you have the m100, you have no SD cards slot (unlike the m125 which does).
Also, it's for Palm OS 5 not OS 4 as you have.

Try to write based on facts next time.
Basically....CmdrTaco started making more posts.
Excellent! Thanks. What was the source of this MP3 by the way? TV capture?
Their server has burned up and is spitting out Internal Server errors.
...sort of. I guess after reading all the complaints here about their logo being too similar to Google, they've now changed it and replaced it with a image that says "New logo needed".
Wouldn't ****SPOILER ALERT**** preceding your post have been more courteous to other people who haven't seen the movie?
Wow. CmdrTaco actually reads this site once in a while. ;-)

That blue-ish gradient filled menus and the tube like menus make me want to puke. :-\

A lot of games now are multiplayer so that wouldn't work as well.

This program gives Xine a QT based (unskinned) GUI for Xine. Attractive and functional.

There is Broadcast2000 and Cinelerra that I know of. However, they're relatively young projects and don't match up fully to Adobe Premiere just yet.

The Tungsten has a 175Mhz processor clocked down to 145Mhz (not 200Mhz as you stated). Just FYI. ;-)
