$300 Linux PDA from Royal to feature Qtopia

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-it-fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a Linux Devices news item, Royal is preparing to release a Linux PDA before the end of this year with a price point of under $300. The device will use Trolltech's Qtopia, so it will share a common operating environment and application platform with the Sharp Zaurus Linux PDAs. Royal announced a Linux PDA in January 2002, but apparently discontinued that project and embarked on a new design. The Linux Devices story includes a photo of the earlier version."

    Sharp Euro & Sharp USA has no plans to bring the new Zaurus's to thier local markets so unless you want to pay the price of a laptop to import, get over the pretty crap that Sharp Japan is putting out and move on to something better.

    Let me know when it's actually possible to develop for Linux PDA's from within Windows. Developing for those things is impossible without running linux on the compiling OS, and there's no good reason why there isn't a cross compiler for windows floating around.
