I've got a Palm m100 (I know, clunky and old, but it works).  It syncs to
OpenGroupware and Evolution without incident;  although today I'd buy one that
supported USB.

Personally I like Palms, simple - straightforward - does what it does.  I just
don't see the point of the nearly-PC-in-my-hand type devices;  I've got a
laptop for that.  So I'm biased.
