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.

The spec essentially is like a SL-5500/5600 device.

Could also work with other PDAs - as long as a kernel driver supports USB. hns http://www.dsitri.de/wiki.php?page=myPDA-Zaurus-Edition
