I got one in early May. I like it. Currently I'm using a little app called IQ 
Notes to track my work at various sites. Its not exactly what I want but 
it'll do until I find time to learn a little more about QT and specifically 
PyQT. 

There are plenty of apps available. Plan on getting some sort of expansion 
memory if you want to do anything major. I ended up getting a 64Mb MMC about 
a week and a half after getting the Zaurus. Battery life has be fine for the 
way I use it. (I don't "live" by this, though it might change once I get 
KOrganizer on it. :-) Oh if you do PHP programming and have some apps you 
want with you, there's an Apache/PHP package for the Zaurus and I think 
somebody has ported/packaged MySQL as well. And of course the Zaurus comes 
with Opera for a browser.
