Linux based PDAs are extremely popular within the "Alternative PDA Community". The popularity of Open Soure Operating Systems has migrated to the PDA community because of the flexibility and power that Linux can add to the PDA. Here are just a few of the top Linux PDAs. 1) Yopy 3700 PDAThis is a cool, Linux based, multimedia PDA. Its design closely resembles the Sony Clie's clamshell design. Includes a 206 MHz Strong ARM Processor, 3.5 Inch 240x320 True Color (65K) TFT LCD, RAM 128MB with 32MB ROM, and a built-in Keyboard. Also includes both MMC and CF II card slots. Be sure to check this beauty out. 2) Sharp Zaurus SL-5500This is the Flagship PDA for Sharp. It sports a 206MHz Intel StrongARM Processor,64MB DRAM and 16MB Flash, 3.5-inch 240x320 display,and a front lighted QWERTY keyboard with a slide cover. This is definitely a work of art. Look for the new SL-5600 with a 400 MHz processor in early 2003.  3) CDL Paron "secure PDA'"This is a truly unique Linux based PDA with security in mind. The Paron is the world's first handheld wireless device with built-in biometric user authentication. This PDA is becoming the PDA of choice for Governments and Businesses with a high need for security. Look to see more about this high tech tool as people become more security conscious. 4) VR3 PDAThis is an inexpensive Linux PDA based on the now defunct Agenda Linux PDA. This is a great entry level Linux PDA. Although it's Grayscale, there is a 66 MHz Processor, 16 Megs RAM, and 160x240 display. Not bad for about $135. |
