Which linux PDA is best for you? Sharp zaurus, sony Mylo, nokia 770... other???

To my knowledge, the Sharp Zaurus is the only one in that list actually running Linux, and that's what i recommend...i had a older Zaurus and loved it (i've left Linux for mobile devices and i'm on to PocketPC's and PalmOS now)

well Mylo also it's gonna use GNU/linux i've read those rumors but in the images you can see something like a PSP anyway it is like the same price of a sharp zaurus but I wonder if it will have a shell and stuff cause could be great for programming and hacking

jdhore: the Nokia 770 is linux with a modified version of Gnome and some special libraries. I don't know about the Mylo but both the PS2 and PS3 are/will run linux.

The zaurus is nice if only it wasn't so expensive. I refuse to buy anything from Sony after their rootkit fiasco. Nokia 770 isn't quite as portable as I would hope.

I'm still looking. I'm pretty impressed by the work from the people at handhelds.org (mainly GPE)
