Never gonna happen. Too small a market to be economically viable. Ive already given up that ghost and moved on. Much better to keep an eye on future phones/devices to see what comes close that can do some of the tasks you need to get done. For me, my Android phone works for most stuff I need to do. I also have a Nokia N810 for more advanced stuff. Ive yet to see an integrated device that does everything I want, though the new N900 comes pretty close.

Thanks Joseph,
I found it at

This seems just the ticket. I have v.6.2.2 running on my eeepc
and started to move some Contacts data across. There are some
issues but a lot of the info transfers via the contact.vcf file.
This comes just as was faced with a teaching trip away from home
when I'll need the Eeepc and hoped I didn't have to also take
the netBook 7.
It's a bit amazing isn't it that it's free! Probably aimed at
Palm users.
Thanks again

Thanks to you guys and a local friend, I now have my eeemachine working with eeebuntu. So much nicer. especially the help files.
And thanks to J. Hamwee for the suggestion to use the Palm hotsynch files for usable co ntact and agenda databases. I find them almost as good as those on my Psions.

Hi,
it's amazing to see a new machine. Hopefully it will be sold soon.
Hi Christoph (Pulster): do will you sell it?

If Psion started making modern palmtops, would it look like this?
