I am considering in buying a tablet-PC-device and run Linux on it (I've been to much in Windows in the last 2 years, have to come back to the rooooots^^).
Since I want to replace my PalmOS PDAs with a device with big or huge display (well, bigger as LifeDrive and even huger than HTC Advantage X7500) I wanted to figure out, how I can determine a Linux to be ... PDA-like:
I am looking for the device to turn on instantly - instant on without booting it everytime.
Can You give me an advise in this? Can I do this with a common linux or do I need a special one? Or do I have to get a real PDA-device for the instant on feature?

Well, there is the Pepper Pad, although application support is poor and it lacks interfaces. Then there are the Archos devices - the 430 has some PDA like features and can act as a host to external USB devices.
Neither of them are, well err.. wonderful. But both are fun.

Why, it this is currently discussed in a parallel thread starting from:

ATM I'm using a Nokia 770. It's a nice internet tablet with a 800x480 display. You might want to look into the new Nokia N810 which also has an integrated webcam, gps receiver and slide-down keyboard. The keyboard is very nice, because now you can compile your software without having to worry about the XKBD compatibility for the onscreen keyboard.

Well... The nokia does have a decent standby time, provided you switch off Wifi an bluetooth. And when the displays switches itself off, the standby time can last a few days.

The Nokia runs Maemo, which is a trimmed down debian with a nice customized matchbox interface. Afaik, that's the only linux available for it. But I'm trying to compile my own little bootstrap with CLFS.
