I consider to buy a Zaurus, too. This machine seems to be pretty cool. Currently I use a Psion 5mx as my main PDA because I need it as a travel type-writer.

Anyway, I wonder wether vi as a editor is a good choice. Don't missunderstand me, I would love to hear that vi rocks on a Zaurus, but the small keyboard and GUI centered OS make it hard to believe.

  Actually the keyboard is good as a thumbs keyboard, but I also successfully tried typing with one hand using all 5 fingers.
  
  I wrote a small html file yesterday, using the handwriting recognition on vi - that also worked fine. And of course vi is cool when you SSH into the Zaurus.
