lets see, its 100 for a gameboy advance sp and 200 for the gps unit, thats 300 dollars for a handheld gps with a 10 hour lion battery and a relatively large beatiful backlit color screen. it even weighs next to nothing and takes up very little space. assuming that they equip this thing with good color maps and offer a way to update them, tyhis would be an incredible deal.
i think your best bet is to get an old zire 71. they just becamse obsolete last week with the release of the zire 72($300), and have dropped in price to 100-150$. 320x240 color screen, rechargeable battery, pretty sure it fits all your requirements, plus it has a built in camera and can play mp3s and movies. i have one, and it works very well. the one tyhing i dont know about is hooking it up to linux/mac. ive seen people on the palm forums who have linux pcs, but i have no idea how they do it or ifd there is mac compatability.
