That would be great.. of course, you could always pick
a HP camera from the stand, take some photos, put them
in internet... just to show how wonderful HP cameras
are ;-))

Yes, and it is great.. The oportunity of running and
developing linux for HP handhelds is fine, but paying
for a MS Windows license to put it out of the machine
is not so fine.. I would like to see as soon as
possible, HP handhelds running linux.

I am agree that J700 series are great machines, but
still to expensives for a poor university student..
and running linux, they are a complete laptop
replacement, that is more expensive ;-))

Have you known the X25 units? At least they were the
first commercial aproach of HP to linux handhelds..
ACO did a good job, I think.
