Aceeca, the maker of the ever-popular Meazura rugged PDA, has just released a newsletter containing information about two new upcoming Windows Mobile/Linux devices with color screens and ARM processors. Our sister site TamsPPC has all the news and a first picture - more will be posted there soon(we WILL get a sample):

Anyways, Palm OS developers, fear not - the MEZ1000 we all know, love and review will not go away. Aceeca will continue to produce it and in fact will even release source code samples, as stated below(from official newsletter - for full text, see above):
Firstly, please be assured that the new devices are NOT replacements for the existing MEZ1000. Our reliable, low cost, long battery run time, Palm OS4 based MEZ1000, continues to satisfy the requirements of an expanding customer base. It’s a very healthy market. Long live the MEZ1000!
Secondly, developers are Aceeca’s lifeblood. Aceeca will continue to provide as much assistance as possible to ensure the ongoing creation of successful Meazura based solutions.
To further assist and encourage developers, we will be releasing significant amounts of source code for our software over the coming weeks, e.g. the Wedge. The release of the source code will commence as soon as we resolve licensing issues that will enable us to provide the code without compromising our intellectual property. Sorry, but we can’t give you the source code for Palm OS 4 as it does not belong to us!
I personally know people all over Aceeca and can reassure you that the MEZ1000 is not dead at all! We will keep you posted!
