Palm runs Palm OS. And I believe Sharp are now doing Linux PDAs.

Psion runs Symbian OS and there is even a project to port Linux to the Psion Series 5:

Sharp's Zaurus is mighty nice. I'm on mine right now. I often am.

Thanks folks. I was initially tempted to buy the HP iPaq HP1940, but as I mentioned, I dont want to buy into MS. The Zaurus is nice, but a bit out of my price range. I see PalmPilots for around the ($)€100 mark. I assume they can display pdf. I think I'll go for one of those.

Palm also has a freeware (mostly) site of a variety of programs - called (as far as I remember)Palm Boulevard.
