Product Description:

Think of a small electronic device (Digital Companion) that you carry with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that helps you to

keep things organized,
remember your thoughs and impressions,
communicate and keep in touch,
to get entertained by favourite music
browse the Internet, and much more
is operated with a pen and handwriting
and works seamlessly with your Apple Macintosh Desktop or PowerBook.

Sounds like a vision? Yes, sure, but it is a vision that we want to become real.
Under the hood of myPDA, we use Linux as the kernel, X11R6 as the graphics engine and mySTEP as the graphics libraries aiming at highest levels of ease of use and data compatibility.

Go Zaurus! - Version: DR2n, 5/19/2004 09:56AM PST

The Zaurus is the most amazing thing since sliced bread -- a tiny, effective and fun little thing that can do most of what a real computer can do (even terminal). I will give this a good run for its money and see how it works.

It was related to a misprint which apparently lead to unintended interpretations...

When I read the short description ("convert Sharp Zaurus to a PDC") my thought was, "Why the heck would you want to use a Zaurus as a primary domain controller? And HOW?" I guess we've run out of unique acronyms in the realm of technology....
