    Internet Explorer Mobile used to be Pocket Internet Explorer. It has been around for a while. Hopefully soon Minimo will be available. How about Mozilla on your Pocket PC: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/

    That was a sticky comment...

  4. More Details and Pictures on Samsung Cell Phone Features 3GB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    See here: http://www.davespda.com/index.php?itemid=268 "The device is based on the next generation of Windows Mobile (known as Magneto). The screen is QVGA, meaning that the resolution is the same of a standard Pocket PC but on the smaller Smartphone sized screen. Unlike most devices, the directional pad is a rotational wheel music like the iPod (an obvious direct competitor of this device. The device measures 4.45" x 1.89" x 0.79" and weights 4.59 ounces. It is GSM/GPRS and does not support EDGE. USB 2.0 is present and allows the device to act like a flash drive so music does not have to be copied via ActiveSync. Bluetooth is included so wireless headphones can be used."

  5. My thoughts on the right device... on Inexpensive Handhelds for Linux? · · Score: 1

    For $150 it would be tough. You could go for an older device like the iPAQ 3670 which there used to be a distro of linux for but you would probably have to get one used.

    Of course the PalmOne Zire, Zire 21, and Zire 31 are all under $150. None of dual expansions though (only the 31 has an expansion). More on the Zire 31 here:
    http://www.davespda.com/hardware/pda/palmos/device .php?139

    Sony also had some options, the SL10 and TJ25...but you only get memory stick as the expansion option which I personally don't think is very viable.

    You can try the recommend tool on my site to see specs for all of these: http://www.davespda.com/resources/recommend/index. htm. Sadly the Linux choice won't help you much.

    And here is a another Linux/PDA site you may want to look at: http://www.linuxda.com/
