There are several PIM applications that have already been ported to the iLiad, as well, though I don't know of one that can synchronize calendar entries, which is why I don't use my iLiad as a PDA.

People don't buy OSes. They buy tools to do jobs. If the tools you need aren't available under a particular OS, it's not a good OS for
you, regardless of how capable it may be otherwise.

The screen on my Palm IIIxe is sunlight readable, though, if you want PalmOS. Monochrome screens often are.  And usually cheap these days, too.

Any of the older monochrome units qualify. I started reading ebooks on a Handspring Visor Deluxe with a 160x160 mono screen, and went from that to a Visor Pro wuith the same screen size. Both were quite readable out of doors.
The next step was a Tungsten E, which
wasn't, because I couldn't turn the back light all the way off. I didn't find out abut the hack that would let me do so till after the E had been retired.
