Hi, guys

I'm thinking of purchasing a PDA or Pocket PC, and I'd like your
recommendations on what I should get. Here's my list of requirements:

* Must be available from a retail outlet in the Toronto, Canada area
- Must support standard PDA apps (calendar, mail, etc)
* Must be "compatible" with a Linux system (i.e. interface to Linux
to sync, load software, etc)
- Should have Wifi, GPS built in
- Should support web browsing, office applications, video
* Should run Linux, or be capable of running Linux, and still support
all builtin devices,
* Should have GPS navigation tools (native or Linux), and maps of
Canada (at minimum, Greater Toronto Area, Timmins, Calgary, Ontario,
Alberta)
- Should have 3+ hour battery life under normal use
- Should be capable of accepting expansion hardware (keyboard, etc)
- Should have a variety of available expansion hardware
- May have bluetooth built in
- May have a digital camera built in

Any suggestions?
