a great day-to-day job for me and let me use it in an efficient way.
i just like it and can suggest it to every linux addicted,
and cause i spent roughly 500$ for it, these 2 cents
are..yea my last 2 cents ;-)



Just out of curiosity, and I hope this isn't considered list clutter, how's the handwriting recognition under Linux on the IPAQ compared to WinCE or Palm OS?



Plenty to choose from. QT has a handwriting interface similiar to WinCE. How it compares I don't know as I wiped WinCE on day one. For X there are a couple different recognizers, 'moded' like Palm's Graffiti (ie you have a control stroke for caps, control, etc.) and 'non-moded' which is, well, modeless. The nice part: not only is it opensource so you can change the strokes, you can do it by editing the stroke file. :)
