There's the Pocket at http://www.bubblesoftonline.com which is what I
use. Lots of features and less than $100. It only comes with Windows
software so I wrote my own. Actually my code is for FreeBSD, but it
shouldn't be too hard for a "heavy Linux user" to adjust the IO calls.
My code is at http://terrandev.com/~bfoz/pocket/. It's not complete yet,
I've only implemented what I need so far. It probably has some bugs too.
