The problem with the nokia is that they only put 64M of RAM into it. Who
in this day & age thought of that with ram prices so cheap.
But with that in mind, and using the hacked OS2007 image i'm fairly
stable :) at least enough to run some "decent" apps (600 page ebook,
kismit, a few xterms, ssh, etc; never all at the same time...). Just
don't load a lot of applets and extra apps, it is a small tablet.

That's the link to the OS2007 for the 770. I still have some issues with
stability but i know it's 100% due to running out of ram & hitting swap.
It does run way too many daemons, but it is linux and you can tweek it
some :)

If you need more power, there is always the OQO of the sony. But they
are slightly bigger than the average PDA.
