See
1) the Symbian "Quartz" reference design, german magazine c't 6/2000, p.64,
2) the Samsung (?) "Yopi", a StrongARM PDA model running Linux.
Both (i believe) promise up to date technical features like
a colour display (ouch! battery life??),
some tens of MB RAM (32? 64?),
good stereo audio (MP3 as well) through headphone jacks & external Amplifiers,
WAP & HTML browsing,
a Java VM,
maybe: a cell phone (triple band),
a GPS client (Ericsson Communicator?),
Bluetooth & IrDA wireless LAN connectivity.
PCMCIA or PC Card slots are (if i'm not mistaken) conspicuously absent from the
spec's, though...
Psion, the main Symbian founder, has a strong history of building StrongARM
devices. 8^)))
Read the c't "news ticker" (http://www.heise.de/) and look for details in search
machines...
regards,
