Are there *any* good high-end Linux-friendly PDAs out there?

Damn you, I just spent about three hours researching that puppy!  It's 
now 2:20 and I have to be up at 6:30.

Very impressive device with some very serious deficits, if you're not 
trying to use it for exactly what it's intended for.

DejaPIM does not sync with Linux, only Windows.  GPE is *very* 
primitive.  Neither comes with the unit, so they are not supported. 
This is very much not a PDA.  It's very cool, and it has great 
potential.  If the hardware had a suspend mode, I would consider buying 
it and hoping the software would get better.

Ward, thanks for all the great info.  Do you go to the BLU meetings 
(Sorry, I'm dreadful at associating faces and names)?  Would you be 
willing to bring it to a meeting to show me/show it off to the class for 
Show And Tell?
