Well I have to admit I did minimal research on this unit. My bro crow did all the leg work finding this thing and seeing the benefits of a pure Linux system running on a PDA!!
He found the Z for $164.95 on geeks.com with free shipping. He also found a highly compatible Linksys WCF12 card on amazon.com for $33.15. Basically, I ordered what he did. :>
I need to get CF and SD memory cards yet but will be working mostly on web and Java development so I won't be getting GPS cards or anything like that which he will no doubt be doing next! hehe :>
Anyway, He got Sharp ROM 3.1 going and walked me through the upgrade procedures which went off without a hitch. I will put procedures in the Step-by-Step category soon. The only thing I've put on remotely resembling being of any worth is mySQL. Which runs awesome on the Z! I will be installing Apache, PHP and a Java dev env also.
So all in all I am extremely impressed with this device and hope to learn a lot from it and do as much as I can on it to replace pulling out the laptop.
