Not sure if this is the right List for this, but here goes anyway.

I'm looking for a linux compatible PDA. I need something that i can sync with outlook. Then turn around and Sync it with Kontact on my Linux box.

Any Suggestions???

Can't vouch for all or any of these, but they seem pretty neat even is the do run that miserable Windows os. http://www.htc.com/product/03-products.htm -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have looked at the other posts. This is a problematic area, as some who started of with PSION 3, I would be lost without a handheld device of some sort. If you need something to co-ordinate e-Mail, contacts and calendar, browse documents and spreadsheets. There is a choice really is between PDA and Smartphone. The former is now a static marketplace, and I would suggest following if only if there is a need to use a mobile application for data collection or some other specialised activity. Synchronisation between the Windows and the PDA world not exactly brilliant, even with Windows OS based devices. Between Linux and the PDA world it can be pretty dire. Linux based PDAs have mainly been launched in the far East, and are rarely supported in the West. Unless you really want to wrestle with Japanese/Korean/Chinese documentation I would avoid. The Nokia tablets are available more generally (I include al link to the latest the N800 at the bottom). The latter is especially useful when you are away from base. Have most of the functionality of a PDA. There is not room here to document all of the symbian Sony Ericsson Devices (avoid the P990) and Nokia phones. These all support something called SyncML, at the moment I have just completed installion of funambol, which supports SyncML (and hopefully by the end of today I will have this configured to sync with my 9500). There is a less feature PHP based SymcML project around as well. The bad news for KMail users is that connectors exist for Thunderbird/Sunbird and Evolution for funambol but not for KMail. There has also been some advance in the Linux Smartphone front (see below)...

I have a treo 700p that I sync with PalmPilot tool. It works very well. There are few applications for some specialized areas that may not upgrade or sync correct but often there are way around. In my use ePocrates Pro can not install but if you install it under windows (I installed using VM in SuSE 10.2) then you do not need it any more because it upgrades automatically from the phone. So I sync once a day. I also use the treo 700p to connect my ThinkPad to the net when I am on the Road. I have been using Linux to syn the palms since 9.3 I believe. Of course you can run the palm desktop from a virtual machine like VM or qemu but as I said except for very few applications you can do all under linux. -=terry(Denver)=- On Tue, 2007-06-05 at 22:56 -0800, John Andersen wrote:

Note that Andrew didn't state the device had to RUN linux, just be functionally compatible.

I have a Palm Treo 650 that I have been syncing one Linux since the day I bought it. I have been using JPilot for years because I use the memo interface extensively. I sync with Outlook at work. In the past I have reported some issues with syncing on some older SuSE releases, but I've also found working solutions.

FWIW, I have a Nokia N800, which runs Linux. While it doesn't sync to email, it does have an email client that can connect to an IMAP server. This means the mail will automagically sync, whenever you connect to the mail server. While I have an IMAP server at home, I haven't set up the N800 to connect to it yet (I have to get OpenVPN going first). -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
