Zaurus C860 and Linux OpenPDA OS...any good?
I was thinking about getting this PDA, but I guess I am wondering if it will suit my needs, and not only that but I would like to know what the freeware software is like out there. And porting applications, is that easy?
There are several things I would like to use the device for, and maybe someone could let me know if what the C860 is like for these:
1) Programming (C#, C++, Java)
2) Taking Notes
3) Drawing
4) Using the internet wirelessly through a wireless hub
5) Portability (in my pocket)
6) Gaming
7) Speed
8)
Handwriting recognition? Can it compare to the Pocket PC's? What's this like?
Will it be network and internet secure? I plan on putting important information on there... I would not want it to get out into the open...
What is firewall software like for it?
What is the OS upgradability like?
Can it boot MS Windows?? lol I'm just kidding...
What graphics libraries are out there for graphics/game programming on the C860?
How is transfering files between the C860 and computer done? Aren't they in different formats?
Is there a .Net Framework for the C860? or is Java a better idea...
What is battery life like in your opinoin? W/and W/out Wi-Fi?
What is the best Zaurus PDA in your opinoin?
I already ordered an iPAQ h4150, but would like to get another PDA... I'm not sure if the C860 would work for me.
**** Anyone got an idea when the C3000 will be out? And how much it will cost?
