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?
