RE: PDA's

My current uber-PDA is the Palm Treo-650.

Palm is working on a migration to Linux.

Quad-band GSM cellphone with powerful, fast Palm PDA combined.
Internet access directly on the phone with email and web browser
just about anywhere I can get a cellular signal.

It also has a built-in MP3 player and with a $20 program (MMplayer),
I can watch full-length movies on it.

Also has Bluetooth and a built-in video and still camera with full
sound.

Since I am an astronomy nut I have purchased a number of astronomy
programs for it that allow me to control my computerized telescopes
wirelessly via Bluetooth.

This thing is a gas!

Unlocked version is compatible with GCI and Cellular One.

ACS customers are out of luck.
