In reality, they will live and work in a sealed facility in Moscow, Russia, to investigate the psychological and medical aspects of a long-duration space mission. ESA is looking for European volunteers to take part.

Submission + - Replacement for Palm PDA? 1

Submitted by owlmon
owlmon writes: I have been using PalmOS devices for years. Now, the stars in this universe are blinking out, one by one. I am searching for a replacement device. I wish to duplicate properties such as
1. Convenient access to personal information, including contacts and appointments.
2. Simple backup/restore of all data.
3. No storage of personal data on OPS (other peoples' servers)!
4. Small and easy to use.
5. Stable software and hardware.
6. Third party developers.

The best approximation I have found so far is Apple's Ipod Touch. In second place, an HP Mini (netbook). Neither of these devices has all of the advantages of a Palm PDA. Suggestions?
