krainian hackers don't wait for Palm's Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about Palm OS PDAs and devices
| running Linux, but it seems it's not only possible, but that these talented
| coders have been doing so for quite a while. While the early attempts started
| a few years ago, with a determined geek porting the micro
| embedded-Linux "uCLinux" to the early Sony Clie PDAs, these efforts had a
| short life. But now, with the availability of more powerful devices like the
| Palm TX sporting high-res screens, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the idea of running
| Linux on them is much more attractive.

Palm Foleo with Linux threatens the Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The Palm Foleo is joining a list of MID (Mobile Internet Devices) like the
| Nokia N800 and Asus Eee that use a lightweight version of Linux but the main
| advantage of the Foleo is its instant on feature. While traditional “Linux”
| may be too difficult for the average user to handle, these highly integrated
| implementations of Linux have no problem being adopted by the masses. That
| could pose a problem for Microsoft in the long run if these devices ever get
| widespread adoption.

Palm Foleo First Thoughts
,----[ Quote ]
| If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video should be worth a
| whole volume. That's why Brian Beeler and I recorded a brief video
| overview of the Foleo, which will hopefully give you a better idea of
| what it will be like to use the first mobile companion yourself.
