Actually -- an advantage of KDE is that it makes for a real Linux computer on a palm top -- the world really opens up at that point.
But for PIM stuff like Kontact, etc.? I think without a suspend or hibernate kind of capability that allows me to press a button and fairly quickly have my KDE desktop available the PIM functionality is a tough sell. If I need to post an appointment or grab contact information my trusty ol' Palm was instant "on." My N810 -- which I really have been enjoying -- requires a boot up of the OS .... then starting KDE ...... then starting the PIM app.... takes a very long time relatively speaking.
How do the die hard KDE'ers use the PIM support in real life? Perhaps I'm missing something.
Thank you!

I guess I think many people use the always on approach, just lock the device to save battery when not in use.
I do see your point though.
Hibernate would be an awesome feature.

I'm both impressed and excited by KDE, and it's pretty much decided me in favor of buying an n810 rather than waiting for one of the various MIDs that will hopefully be released in the next 6 months or so.
I have several questions:
1) Can Kontacts sync with a Windows PC running XP? How difficult is it to accomplish this feat?
2) Can KWord read .rtf files and can it save to .rtf
3) How difficult or lengthy is it to switch between KDE and meamo apps like Canola or the web browser?

PIM Stands for "Personal Information Manager."

I wonder if it's possible to get KDE4 on here.. since it uses even less resources apparantly.

Can anyone else?
