It's inexpensive, it funds Linux developers, and it brings Free systems to a
wider market. Were I to buy another PDA today, it would probably not be
another Palm (unless they get their act together and bring out the Linux
devices already). I can't really think of any devices out there that thrive
without Linux, iPods being the exception for music players and Symbian being
the exception for phones.
