I'm thinking that I should just sell my Zaurus SL-5500, or something.  This thing used to be hot stuff a couple years back, I remember the first time I saw one at LinuxWorld back in 2002.. Linux on a PDA, wow.  Now, it's pretty much useless, and OZ just gets buggier.

Actually, I don't even think I have a use for any type of standalone PDA anymore.  My original goal w/the Zaurus was to use it as an MP3 player, alarm clock, and SSH/web client when I'm connected via Wi-Fi.  My cell phone(s) let me get online with SSH/email/web anywhere, and also play music (or I use my iAudio).  Also, they last more than 15 minutes on battery.

Any other Zaurus owners?  Is the device still useful?
