I heard the Android doesn't even sync to Linux yet :P
Personally, I've been using my Palm Z22.  I picked it up for $20 used
because they don't sell them anymore.
Works awesome for GTD Getting Things Done. 

There is no smartphone, in my mind, that is at the same level of
productivity this old PDA is giving me.  However, I have high hopes for
the Android.  I am waiting a few months to see what smartphones hit the
market and if I can retire the old Palm.
