The Palm series is completely open, and has a wealth of free software
which you can download. WindowzCE is an OS (well, sort of...) not a
computer. The Palm series currently dominates the hand held PCs/PDAs
market (more then 60%) and is the only one currently supported under
Linux. I'm going to buy one of them myself sometime next week...
