Re: PDA recommendation for running Mini-stumbler (maybe OT?)

["David M. Zendzian" <dmz () dmzs com>]

How about getting one of the Nokia N devices? You can find the 770 on 
ebay for about $120; then just run kismet, metasploit or whatever you need!

It doesn't include a phone, but it is small enough that you can get a 
small phone with bluetooth and it'll work anywhere. Plus then with a 
"normal" phone you'll get 2-3 days battery for your phone and much 
better reception (non-pda cell phones do get better battery life & 
signal strength, not to mention stability, my 3125 only turns off every 
6-8 weeks!

But honestly the 770 is a great little device (get the 'testing' 
upgraded firmware, much better to work with), or if you want a keyboard 
the latest & greatest the N810 (479 though). It runs debian and has a 
good start of apt'able applications (or compile whatever you need, lots 
of documentation out there for it)..
