I still think "Palm Pilot" sounds
like a euphemism.
And if you knew the joy we "Palm Pilots" get from owning one, you'd have
three already. ;)

What you need is a Psion Series 5. Screw PalmPilots, and screw WinCE
handhelds. The Psion Series 5 or 5MX with EPOC kicks ass all over those
sorry little calculators.
Mine has been loaded with a telnet client and a web browser on top of the
terminal emulator that was already loaded in. Coupled with my wireless
modem, I use it to telnet into my server at home or surf the web, and I've
used it to program PBX's through the serial port. Some of this I have
done while driving down the freeway (not recommended).
There's even a Linux port for it (ARM processor). So when you boys are
done playing with your little toys, why don't you consider graduating up
to a REAL handheld?

I've used my hp320LX exactly for this. I don't particularly
like CE, but I must admit that I like having something that
fits more or less in your pocket, can work as a serial terminal,
connect to your ISP, check a POP server... I just need a
decent, free version of telnet for it. The free ones are all
buggy :-(.
I don't like the Pilot because I really need a keyboard.

they claim that they can connect a keyboard and a serial port and the
software is all opensource Linux.
I have one on order ;-)

Agenda? Surely they can't call it that! It's been done
before, by the Microwriter AgendA in about 1987. I have a
photo on my own WWW page:
http://www.gifford.co.uk/~coredump/org.htm
The original AgendA used a chord keyboard and was styled in
very '80s matt black. 6303 CMOS processor and a whopping
128kbytes on the larger model.
