I am also very interested in finding an accessible PDA running linux. I've done some research, and the iPaq seems like a good choice. The h3600 is the most common model to run linux on. You can find more information at www.handhelds.org There is a lite version of the Festival Software synthesizer already working on the iPaq. Look at: http://speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/ Another problem will be getting emacs/emacspeak to work on the iPaq, but that shouldn't be inpossible. You would also have to purchase an external keyboard, as handwriting recognition isn't very easy to do without seeing the display :) You can buy PDAs preloaded with linux from http://www.xtops.de The Samsung/G'Mate YOPY(http://www.yopy.com) and the Agenda VR3(http://www.agendacomputing.de) also seem to be alternatives, but the YOPY is expensive, and the VR3 has little memory and no external keyboard is yet available. I am very interested in hearing if someone has ever tried something like this.
