Fossil Abacus AU5006



Amazon has it for $ 29.99. Not a bad price for a PDA.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...504042-3308665

Only the battery life time sucks. Approx. 3-4 days, based on an average use of 30 minutes per day, with no backlight or IR.





Ah well, gadget for the über-geek, I guess...

For $30 thats not bad, but battery life sucks, and its a bit old, and the screen is a bit small. Most phones do everything a PDA does. Whatever.

Found one on the UK Amazon site for £59.99, down from £79.99. Looks like a different model though.
