[ale] PDAs and Linux

[Chris Woodruff]

I would recommend that you hold off for a bit until the new Palm 5.0
devices show up on the market.  Either you can see if PalmOS 5.0 fits
your needs or get an older PalmOS device when the prices go down.

I haven't seen any of the Linux powered PDA's but I have heard that some
of them need more refining since they all are first generation devices.
