Despite being somewhat sketchy, the article explains that this new mobile compututing 'solution' will involve an expansion sleeve, a camera and a 'downscaled version of linux' running the whole thing in place of Windows CE. I want one." There are also some interesting Linux-PDA-related sidebars.

    Handhelds.org has a WIKI. Search it for "stroke" or "scrib" and you'll find multiple handwriting recognition apps.
