I would say the 810, but Pandora early 2009 might be an option for you also, if you can wait.

The n810 offers everything you mentioned and much more.

Thanks for the answers so far!
Unfortunately, the delivery to Brazil is out of the question, because Brazil has outrageous import taxes (60%, also over S&H!), and because I need to spend money from a research project, and that has to be with Brazilian firms (silly legislation).
But at least the many suggestions pointing to the N8x0 seem to confirm that it is the best option so far.
Someone pointed the Pandora. Interesting, but too big for me. I need it to carry in a pocket. I need something the size of the N8x0 or so.
I also saw the Archos 5. It looks sweet, but I am not sure how 'dumb' it is as a Pocket PC. But its compact size yet huge screen seem perfect for my use.
I will look at the suggested umpcportal.
Thanks again!

If you need Linux, the Internet tablets are the best. The other choices would be:
N810 / N800
Android (HTC G1/Dream)
OpenMoko
A Sharp Zaurus (Old...)
Archos are not really Linux, they just run a proprietary user space on TOP of Linux, so you can't really do anything with it..

1) Your 16GB memory is provided by a card?
2) Which card would you suggest? What about something like this, or would this be too slow:

I am a new member of this forum. I would like to get some help to choose an Internet Tablet/Pocket PC/PDA. It would be perfect if any of you can give me some link where several tablets can be compared with respect to their features. For the PDA:
--- I would like: LINUX, Wi-Fi (of course), as large capacity as possible, fast processor, QWERTY (I want to use it for email during travels)
--- I don't care: Camera, webcamera, Cell phone.
The most important thing for me is perhaps the thing to have Linux. I want to use mutt, vi, and my own scripts on it. Perhaps the Nokia N810 would be enough for my needs, but it is not being sold in Brazil, where I live (why??????).
Any advice?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
L.
