Familiar doesn't yet work on the 39xx iPAQ. It's supposed to be good on the
38xx at this point. When I was using it 36xx and 37xx it rocked. Plan on
getting the foldout keyboard if you want to do much on it. I also recommend
the extention cable for the keyboard, so you can lay the iPAQ on it's side
and have a vt100-like display.

I have a dual-pcmcia sleeve. It's great. The extra battery power is pretty
important.

iPAQ, wireless LAN and ssh rocks :).

I prefer the iPAQ over the Zaurus, but I've only used the Zaurus a little
bit.
