Hello,

Let me repeat a question I asked on the Cadsoft group since there are also users of other CAD systems here: Is there a PDA or other handheld that can be used for schematic entry and editing, plus maybe writing the module spec to go with it?

In other words something that has enough RAM and Flash to run Eagle or similar programs but where the processor does not have to be powerful. Of course I don't plan to do layouts that way (don't do layouts myself anyway).

Eagle does not seem to use a lot of memory, less than the 20mb.
The real hurdle is running it on Win CE. If it uses any functions that are stripped out to make it CE then your out of luck.
Hmmm, there are simulators.....


Plus I'd have to run more stuff later, such as the IAR compiler. Would be nice if that PDA could run regular Windows, just without the glitz and on the lowest possible resolution.
