I'm using the M505 (soon to be reborn as a Sony CLIE NR70V I hope - Fathers' Day this Sunday !!!) and it appears to work OK. I'm looking at getting it to sync with Evolution tonight....
Have you synced it with anything yet or seen if SuSE 8 will even speak with it?
Thanks, nick
The Zauras is crap - plastic, cheaply made and a pain to operate
Thanks for that!!
I have to disagree that the zaurus is crap. I was a Palm user for 5 years and while Palms are great, they are in a different class than the zaurus. I had no problems syncing my Palm to Jpilot, that was with Palm OS 3.x. I did have problems with a recent Sony Clie and Palm OS 4.x syncing with SuSE 8. It took some work, but my zaurus is syncing with the Qtopia desktop on SuSE 8 over the USB-ethernet connection. I also just picked up a Linksys WFC12 wireless CF card and can now roam around and web surf/e-mail from the zaurus. The OpenSSH port for the zaurus works great (client and server) so I can remotely control all my machines from the Z. The zaurus has some bugs, but it is a nice little machine and there are already hundreds of apps available for it (zauruszone.com). It took me about 3 days to convert all my Palm data over to zaurus format. If you don't want to do any tinkering, you may be happier waiting for the next generation of zaurus. If you put a little effort into it, though, the zaurus is the most powerful PDA you can buy today (IMO). Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Right behind you, I see the millions Got spam?
