This is an independent, impartial, and frequently updated guide. On the page we list the two best prices that we have found for each item, and give links to the suppliers. We have found that there is some competition to be listed as the least expensive supplier, so a number of resellers have asked us to list special prices, which they will only offer if you mention that you saw the price on PDApage. This, together with the general fall in RAM and FLASH prices, means that the prices we have listed are significantly lower than the best you might have seen only a few weeks ago. If you are about to buy a new PDA, or an accessory, you might easily be able to save some money by looking at our page first. We only list prices, since we have no way of getting reliable information about after sales service and support, or any of the other attributes that might make you choose one supplier over another. However, if you know what you want, and you know how to use it, our page can be very useful. We appreciate any feedback or suggestions. You can send comments to webmaster@pdapage.com, or you can send me a message to this Compuserve address and I will forward your message.

For $10.00 CAN a month I get 20 hrs of full Internet access either via TCP/IP with PPP connection (using MS Internet Explorer and other Windows 95 programs) or via Unix shell, i.e. plain text access similar to BBS access. If you want similar access check out your local ISPs and their rates (a lot of them now offer unlimited time access for a reasonable monthly fee plus a dozen other access plans) and ask them if they provide Unix shell access as well. Most of them do. Then, once you sign up, they will give you all the info you need to access their server.

You can check out Joey forms at http://wwwjoeytech.com I think that they have been very successful with their MessagePad software, and hope that they will do just as good with the Zaurus version. You are probably right that this is mainly for commercial developers, there is probably a market there, after all, a vertical market application can easily cost several thousand to develop, I am sure that with that kind of budget, the customer will not care to much about a small fee for each user platform. Another thing in the favor is their software is compatible with JetForm Filler, JetForm Filler Pro, and JetForm Central.... "By integrating Joey's forms design and data collection capabilities with JetForm's powerful forms processing and workflow technology, mobile professionals can use an Sharp Zaurus to streamline administrative tasks, reduce costly paperwork and increase personnel efficiency." *This quote is taken from the Press Release I received at COMDEX.

You can read my initial impressions in my column on the latest "mobilis" journal on the web. We'll also run a full feature on it in the February issue of Pen Computing Magazine which we're going to close next week. It's hard not to be impressed by the MI-10. The TFT screen is just gorgeous, and seeing one's web page--color, graphics, and all--on a Zaurus is terrific. I'm also in love with the PC-Card camera option. Nonetheless, Sharp will have to make some difficult decisions since the MI-10 is a very different animal from the current US Zauri. Email if you have questions. Conrad H.

The manufacturer is a small company, Peel Technologies, in Ontario. The price was US$35 (including shipping to Belgium). Here are my first impressions: The Mobilpak is designed to replace the power adapter in situations where an outlet is not available. It comes in two versions, one with 4 D-size batteries, and another with 4 C-size batteries. It is the latter I purchased. Basically, the unit consist of a plastic box into which you pop in the batteries, and then plug it into the Zaurus. It also has a battery tester built in. The size of the unit is about 5.5 X 3 X 1.75 inches. For me the main test of the Mobilpak was whether it could power my ZR5800 when using the Nokia Data Card GSM modem, an extremely power hungry accessory (if no external power is supplied, the Zaurus will not even turn on with this modem in its slot). The result was that it worked like a charm. I have not yet had the opportunity to test the battery life when using the unit, but it appears to provide a viable solution for travelling with the Zaurus, especially if you go to countries which use a different voltage than your own. For example, I am going to the USA for a couple of weeks in March, and since I do not have a power adapter for the American current, the Mobilpak will serve as the perfect solution for that trip. If interested, you can contact Peel Technologies on (613) 726-3047, or e-mail peeltech@ottawa.net. I have no connection with the company except by having bought this early version of their product. I do think that we should support any company which takes a chance on making accessories for our Zaurii.
