    Another fellow /.er made a funny comment about how long before we see linux on it... well, Are there plans for that? Or, in other words, is it possible? I see the windows logo and my eyes hurt :(

    It uses PocketPC 2002, a variant of Windows CE which, while carrying a similar API and sharing some GUI elements, has nothing to do with the x86 Windows lines (i.e. it isn't remotely a "Stripped down version of Windows 98"). PocketPC 2002 is very streamlined for the types of operations that people do with their PDA, and for that it works very nicely.
