I was really impressed with a friends hip-top.  It has a built-in claendar, 
and about 2 seconds after you use it it is syncronized to a web-server and 
you can see it on the web, too.  All your contacts are synced, also.

It does mean, however, that your can't use your native linux tools.  I have no 
idea if there is any sort of programming API (e.g. web services) for the web 
side of things which would allow you to interact with it in other ways.
