My last two mobile phones (Motorola A920 and Motorola E1000) are symbian-based hand-helds, and they act like a PDA - but I still can't do the same stuff with my PDA as I can with a PC. I suggested app-pda because of the metadata.xml description: The app-pda category contains software for working with personal digital assistants or hand-held computers. As I've said, I think most modern mobile phones can be considered being a PDA/hand-held computer. ./Brix --=20 Henrik Brix Andersen Gentoo Linux --=-44UIaJ2ncSaKn4QLxJ8E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCf2bsv+Q4flTiePgRAoKAAJ4itLHsOoqFzVMCta8o4OfzDO/lTwCeMNtn 22BO5s5m2+wxW1di8/pz4sQ= =7iWd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-44UIaJ2ncSaKn4QLxJ8E-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
