PDA Compatiblility


Hello,
i am intrestead to by a PDA which i want to have the following specs:
Price= 250pounds or less
Wi-Fi
USB interface so i can plub whatever i like eg. keyboard
Linux Compatible, so no need for windows any more to sychronise or manage it
I know that the best one is the Sharp Zaurus SL-C3100 which what so ever is extremely expensive. Any other ideas?
Thank you

you may be able to grab a SL-5500 in your pricerange then get a cf 802.11b card for it.. that's what I used before I bought my SL-6500 with built in wireless.



good luck in your search.
