I wish to enter/store data while away from home. The data will then be
transferred to my laptop via a USB cable. [Think the capability of one
of the old Palm Pilots in a smartphone(sic) form factor]
It must use a standard Linux (Debian preferred).
The manufacturer should ship with the Linux installed.
Android is *UNACCEPTABLE*!
It should NOT have cell connectivity.
If it has WiFi, I must be able to disable it.
When I looked a few years ago there were some open source hardware
projects in the prototype stage but I don't recall any that reached
production.
There was something with similar functionality based on Raspberry Pi but
in ended up much to thick as the touch screen was "top hat" based.
Any suggestions or survey articles I should read.
TIA
