Ah - OK.  I thought softfield had only bought their IP assets - not the
actual Agenda production models.

That's right - I had not intended to make it a glowing review!

The machine works and it's kinda more or less OK - but it's not a
*great* product.  At the time, it was amazing because it was the
cheapest PDA on the market and the only OpenSource PDA - now there
are lots of them.

Unless you are really short on cash - buy one of the better Linux PDA's.
