Obviously I keep looking out for a 200MHz+ StrongARM, with 240x320
with 16 bpp with 100MHz SDRAM. Perhaps as time goes on the Linux
community can get enough of a momentum behind its development to make
a real showing. I'm guessing more people will get Agenda VR3 than
iPAQ and a lot of simple applications will be available in the open
source movement. I'm planning on writing an e-text reader with
dictionary based compression for VR3. Mainly political I'm trying to
make a case for the standard Unix compressed dictionary in it's ROM.
For word completion and T9 like behaviour, text compression, spelling
checks and such like.

Personally I never really felt this generation of PDA's was the
killer generation of companion products that 50% of the population
would get. The iPAQ's whole production has only gone from 5000 a
month to 10000 a month, I believe. It seemed Bluetooth, GPRS then T3
and sensors to locate the angle of the screen would all be needed to
put this type of product in every pocket. After all Yopy had an
expensive GPS system add-on which is irrelevant as GPRS can give
location in urban areas and inside the shopping mall and train where
it has product value, including potential downloading data for the
new locality.

I really do not want to take my games code to EPOC or WinCE before an
open source version is finished for Linux handhelds. Perhaps I can
get a Yopy even under NDA in the hope GMate still have designs on
Yopy II.
