A handheld that accepts a PCMCIA card?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.handhelds (More info?)

I use a wireless service that requires it's proprietary PCMCIA card.
I'm already paying for their wireless service and I want to be able to
check email and have Outlook in a handheld. The handheld would need to
have an OS that accepts Windows XP software. Any suggestions?

If you need to be sure a computer will run Windows XP software, then
you need a computer running Windows XP. Windows 2000 will support
many/most, but not _all_ Windows XP software. Windows CE/Pocket PC
will support _none_. I'm pretty sure at least one facility exists to
let Linux run Windows programs (WINE?), and assume it will be pretty
good.

With that in mind, check out:

I've seen at least one competitor, but don't remember details.
