Accessing WebDAV on PDAs 10
Saqib Ali asks: "Nowadays, WebDAV (Web based Distributed Authoring and Version) is becoming very common in large corporations. We are also adopting WebDAV for file sharing. All the major operating systems support WebDAV, however I was wondering if there is any support for WebDAV on PDAs. I think lots of people will be interested in WebDAV support for PDAs. Does anyone know of a WebDAV client for PDAs? Especially for Pocket PCs, since they have Pocket Word and Excel? If not, I would be interested in starting a Open Source project for implementing this. Any good ideas on how/where to start?"
Unfortunately the Pocket Word/Excel suck (Score:3, Interesting)
It would be nice to see an open-source office "suite" for Pocket PC (or even for the Zaurus for that matter) that isn't as braindead or limited as Pocket Word/Excel/Outlook, but not as fat as OpenOffice.org... yet still be able to work with Word and Excel documents natively. Maybe this could be a possibility with the Compact
Whilst on the topic of open-source software for PDAs... an open-source free or low-cost (as in beer) SSH/SCP/SFTP client would be super nice.

I am eyeing out the Zaurus C700 clamshell PDA nonetheless.

You could always mod your PocketPC to run Linux, if you've got one of the 'supported' models. I've got a Toshiba e310, so no conversion for me.
You could give Mocha Telnet a try. It has SSH and Telnet. It's what I use. License is $25 for single user.

I think if I go with Linux (or NetBSD) on a PDA, I'd put it on a clamshell PDA with a keyboard and a half-VGA display. Yeah, they are more expensive, but I don't think I could write out IOS configs or hack DNS map files using a Graffiti-like input scheme
I know... it's probably just cheaper to get a use ultra-slim laptop and put on Linux or FreeBSD... but it's still not as portable as a Jornada clamshell.

I'm considering looking for a keyboard/case combination for mine. Though, in the end, I might wait until AFTER I upgrade next so that I can pick up something with wireless LAN.
Depending on what your needs are, you might be better off with a Zaurus. By your commentary, I'm guessing you're somewhat high end on the tech scale, so a Zaurus might be just what you really need.

Brevity was never your forte, was it? ;^)
Have you tried Linux Familiar or Intimate ? (Score:3, Informative)
I'm pretty sure that using the last one you may have tools that are WebDAV enabled.
Furthermore, that's all open source. Linux rocks.
