My friend 'dillo does programming on his PDAs but, he does
programming *for* PDAs so that kinda makes sense.
The Zaurus has a keyboard, even if it's kinda tiny.
Several models have foldaway keyboards available; my husband
has a Targus Stowaway keyboard for his Visor and that helps
-a lot-.
iPaq of course have exccellent color and that might help you
keep your vision several years longer... Anyways the link
you're looking for is handhelds.org.
