If you're willing to ditch the "windows mobile" requirement (Wince/WM is
crap anyway) then you could have a look at the Sharp Zaurus series. Run
www.pocketworkstation.org on one of the Zaurus and you'll have access to
most of Debian in the palm of your hand. I've successfully run FUDforum
using Apache2/PHP4/MySQL on my Zaurus. Ruby on Rails works as well albeit
a tad slow -- I need to figure out how to get fastcgi working. And unlike
WM devices, you can run *real* browsers, Firefox and Mozilla are
available.
