I wish a hand held data collection device.
Being current production is important.
I wish Tcl/Tk as it will provide practice coding for an unrelated project.
The device must NOT have cell network connectivity.
My preferred OS is Linux.
I wish to avoid Android.
Suggested devices?
{Those specs are quite firm ;)
TIA

This one really kills it. On all current Android devices you could use
androwish.

If that's the problem, you could simply not install a SIM card. Most

my company is in the AIDC (Barcode&RFID) business and we use those data
collection terminals using Windows CE with TCL from Evolane.
Evolane shut down but we still have the binaries from old projects.
Evolane was a one man show from a genious guy now working with yahoo.
Give a sign if this is interesting for you.
But I would urgently advise you to use Android, a full Windows PDA or a
Linux PDA.
Enjoy,
Harald

A Linux OS would address maintainability issues. A software analog of
specifying current production hardware.
Any PDA's with Linux preinstalled or amenable to user install of Linux?
