Re: Palm Devices

[Tony Jebara]

Linux on the PALM sounds like an excellent idea with lots
of potential. I wouldn't mind paying extra for RAM, this palm V
is the only device small enough to carry at all times (winCE
palms are too big and so are the smallest laptops).

Any idea where I can keep track of the palm linux development
work you mentioned?

Thanks...
