People, you are just reading my mind, to be honest! I was so interested in this area (as I know nothing about it literally) recently,<div>and here it goes - a source of quality expert knowledge straight to your email. Thanx, LivLUG!</div>

</div>Have you a shortlist of devices/manufacturers that *are* okay?<br>
<br>
I ask as my phone is a little over 5 years old, so I may replace<br>
it in the next year [1]. I'm torn between something like a Dell Streak<br>
(& a foldable bluetooth keyboard) or getting something really<br>
portable like Sony's little slide-out phone - but Emacs will be<br>
pretty painful in QVGA :-/<br>
<br>
Alternatively, maybe I'll find a better CF card for my<br>
Psion5, and do Arm Linux that way :-)<br>

[1] Scandalously wasteful, I know - it still gives me<br>
one week's battery life.<br>
