OK, I'm not an expert in this regard, but as far as I have heared, those 
who use Linux on iPAQ got it to sync with their desktops.

For Zaurus, Sharp offers binary RPM packages to sync it with Linux. I 
was following the discussion about using Zaurus with Linux a while ago. 
after Zaurus's debut a year ago, first it didn't work with Linux, but 
then Sharp donated a Zaurus to Greg Korman (The guy who works on USB 
support in kernel) and he added support for Zaurus to the kernel. Then 
sharp released a software (binary non-free) to make Zaurus sync with 
Linux. I guess it is OK now.

BTW, I have heard that it is a very nice PDA. How is it Kaveh? How is 
the Qtopia interface?

Cheers
