I took a look at a PDA that is exculsive to Halfords and Aldi! £300 including built in GPS.

But I really want a PDA with a keyboard on it, so my choice at the moment is between a Sharp or a HP. The Sharp is about £100 quid cheaper but seems to be abouty to become obsolete and runs on LINUX, which concerns me.

It's a shame, cos if I could save the £100.00 that would mean I'd be able to get another GPS.

"... and runs on LINUX, which concerns me."

I too would be worried about this. I would be worried that it WOULD work well and WOULD NOT crash all the time etc ...

A Linux based machine is going to be far better than any Windoze based one for reliability. Palm OS is still the best of the PDA operating systems though. The main problem is software availability which is changing all the time.
