actually my financial condition is not so good , I cannot buy a laptop or so . now I use a celeron 2nd hand computer ( 733 Mhz ) on 810e motherboard . I dont do any heavywork just some unix level C programming . but sometimes I need to read ebooks on the move or so . I am looking for a pda type of device which is very less costly .

I just want to take soem data on the go , i will not do any heavy application .

I am looking for something which is very mobile ( say its like a digital pad )and it can do :

1. doc pdf reading

yes only one job .

can anyone here suggest me anything ?

u cud try windows mobiles like from hp

Maybe you should think of portable apps (U3 etc.) or some kind of portable desktop (like USB mandrive if you're into linux... you can even make a portable windows using PEBuilder).
if you are going to places with public computers its a good, nice, easy and a CHEAP way to move around with you're PC... only without a PC.
just a thought.

Go for moto rockr E6 it has Document viewer Feature.
You able to view MS Word, Excel, PPT, PDF
