It is my Yopy PDA, from Samsung Electronics. It has a 200 Mhz ARM processor, 32 MB of
storage and 16MB of memory. It's color, with a touch screen and stylus, and game buttons.
It's the same size as a Palm, maybe thicker. It came through Customs last week.
Here is the web site http://www.gmate.co.kr/. There are other Linux PDAs, for example from
Compaq and other vendors. There is news on the web page.

There are also projects to run open source or free operating systems on practically any
processor. For example, you can run Java on Palm. 3Com had people on Palm before the
others.
I also have a PowerBook so I use Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX.
