[GRLUG] Android PDA

[Bill Pribble]

There is a review on the NokiaN900 in Linux Journal - May 2010 #193 by Kyle Rankin.
I talked briefly to Kyle about this device at Penguicon and it looks fantastic.
But.... $500 is a lot of money.

Interesting, albeit expensive option.

I guess I should have said price is of issue.

Nokia is around $500  touch is $160.

Share and Enjoy
