Are there *any* good high-end Linux-friendly PDAs out there?

Oh, I have something like that ($8 on eBay).  But you have to remember that
I'm trying to use it as a PDA, which means carrying it everywhere.  Having a
lump about half as big as the PDA itself hanging off a cord is rather
impractical if you want to do that.

A replacement battery for the Zaurus is about $40, which I may do to put the
decision off for a little while longer.
