My z50 (WinCE machine running NetBSD/hpcmips) also raised some eyebrows
on the LinuxTag, although it is not actually a PDA, more of a
subnotebook. But Some people wouldn't believe it runs a complete Unix
with X11, and that for 14+ hours without external power supply.

I'll probably also be at the Chaos Communication Congress (19C3) at
Berlin between Christmas and New Year, together with Hubert and my
brother-in-law, and maybe my brother.

Now what would be a real killer application for a handheld wireless
device with a complete operating system?


As to the NetBSD e. V. thing, I'm afraid I cannot pursue it with as much
effort as I would like to at the moment, since I have a couple of exams
in the coming months, followed by my computer science thesis paper.

All German speaking NetBSD users, check back once in a while at
http://nuxi.homeunix.org/NetBSD/eV/satzung/ for the latest version of
the preliminary statutes ("Satzung") of the society-to-be-founded. Please
send comments my way (bsieker@freenet.de)
