RE: [SuSE Linux] Re: psion palmtop and suse linux

Thanks David Well I supose that fixes it Palm it is! The idea of not being able to get into the guts without a license does not appeal. Pitty the physical layout did. /dlh. dhallam@acm.org -snip psion.

I did buy a psion 5, but I regret not having bought a palm pilot: the developer tools and the format of the files are proprietary. This means for example that there is no way to read a psion-word document in linux. To develop programs, games, etc, you have to pay for a license and develop under windows. For the palm there are many open-source developing tools...

This is subjective, but I think the palm pilot is also much more better conceived for the task such a device is useful for.

Ciao, David
