There are two that I'm aware of, the CFU1U from RATOC www.ratocsystems.com
and the Solar Express from www.twin-paradox.com

I have read in some forum about an USB-Host card in Compact Flash
format that appears to work with the Sharp Zaurus. Could also work
with other PDAs - as long as a kernel driver supports USB.

There could be an opportunity to convince Sharp to enter the medium
range PDA market again. The spec essentially is like a SL-5500/5600
device.

I'm looking for OEM handhelds manufacturers, ie some
vendors which sell partially or fully assembled
handhelds computers on specification, to be put into
customized enclosures.
The ideal platform is a ARM (or x86) compatible
processor at 200/400 MHz, has a high quality touch
screen, 802.11 and Bluetooth working at the same time,
one host usb port and SD/MMC and/or CF expansion
capabilities.
The compatibility with Linux is also required.

Could anybody provide some pointers?
Thanks in advance.
