Played with a friend's IPaq running Linux, and my complaint was
that the handwriting recognition didn't like the lowercase 'd'
the way I'm used to write it.  So if I were to buy a handheld
I could choose between adjusting my 'd's and hacking the HCR
software - where else do you have that choice?  Surely there
were less applications than with WinCE, but that may have
changed in the weeks since...  The display is gorgeous in any
case.

Unfortunately the price mandatorily includes Windows CE and
it may hurt a little to know to have spent $40 or so for a
fully colored boot loader that is used exactly once - but why
not support a troubled company :-)
