    Get a used Treo 650 that works with Sprint. .... It doesn't run Linux,


    As an owner of a Treo 650 and a tester for Linux4palm, it is my duty to direct you to hackndev where they have been successful in running Linux on a Treo 650 and I have tested it myself.

  2. Re:palm interface on a linux kernel? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on The Palm OS Ends With a Whimper

    For those of us still clinging to older Palms, the Linux4Palm project at http://hackndev.com/palm/tt3 is well worth a look. The GPE windows manager is very usable and OPIE and Enlightenment are also available (though I haven't tried these yet). It's currently under active development and getting very close to the point where I'm considering re-flashing my T3's ROM. They could do with better install documentation for beginners though.

    Why wait? You can run linux on palm TX already.

  4. Re:interesting++ by bfree · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Palm to go Linux

    Hackndev has been working on Linux ports for many of the current Palm models for quite a while now. Unfortunately some things (like Wifi) are virtually impossible to get working but a wide number of models have the core hardware working. The biggest issue now actually seems to be creating the applications/environment which is suited for the Palm inputs.

  5. Can't wait for this to hit PDAs by rwa2 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Damn Small Linux Not So Small

    Familiar's Opie and GPE can help breathe new life into PDAs ( http://hackndev.com/palm/tx ) but they still seems somewhat limited compared to packages DSL provides...

    You could try hackndev.com to get Linux onto your Palm, though it is still in relatively early stages.

  7. Re:Good for Apply Maybe, good for Palm - NO! by menkhaura · · Score: 1 · on Apple to Buy out Palm?

    Palms used to be good products in the 90s and up to about 2002. Now, the PalmOS 5 is quite old, and it shows. Unstable, single-tasking, outdated interface. I recently bought a LifeDrive: wow, 4 gigs, bluetooth and WiFi in a single Palm device, that's sweet! But no. The bitch is nearly as crash-prone as Windows 98 in a good day.

    Now, there is an independent effort to port Linux to it, and I (not being quite the programmer I'd like to be) await eagerly for its conclusion, so I can use at least a decent OS on this very capable hardware.

    Palm promised that Linux would be under the hood of the new PalmOS version, but to this day it's only vapourware.

    And no, don't tell me to pay the Microsoft tax on a PocketPC system so I can run Linux on a handheld.
