Good idea, I don't know who is working on anything like this. I don't
know how to figure out the population for use of such things, either,
since I don't know anyone with the sort of PDA you speak about.
I just picked up a Sharp Zaurus PDA, it is Linux based, and it should be
a snap to run any of the Linux based software on it (or port any C
applications to it with some fine tuning :-) I'm just starting to
explore the little thing...the Geek factor is pretty high.

Also, one of the kids in the Phillips ARC had an excellent idea last
month: how about programming these Cybiko PDAs that PARC members got
last
year as rig controllers ? It would make a dandy instant on control for a
Pegasus, and for demos within the classroom where it will be sitting
once
school starts. Two of the Cybikos can be put to use. SMOP (simple
matter
of programming). Look for our results over the coming year.
