Linux-to-Palm Integration?

Posted by Cliff on from the penguins-and-hand-helds dept.

Randseed asks: "I'm a physician and am looking to buy a PDA to make my life a lot easier. My entire computer network is based around Linux. The hospitals' are Windows, but I don't need to explicitly deal with them. This is where my fellow geeks at Slashdot come in. What kind of integration exists for PalmOS PDAs and Linux at this point? What do you guys use? What is the best way to deal with installing software on the Palm from a Linux machine?"

    pilot-link is a suite of tools used to connect your Palm or PalmOS® compatible handheld with Unix, Linux, and any other POSIX-compatible machine. pilot-link works with all PalmOS® handhelds, including those made by Handspring, Sony, and Palm, as well as others. pilot-link includes userspace "conduits" that allow you to syncronize information to and from your Palm device, as well as libraries of Palm-compatible functions that allow other applications to take advantage of the code included in pilot-link. There are also several language "bindings" that allow you to use your favorite development language with pilot-link, such as Java, Tcl, Perl, and Python.

    OpenTAPAS is the Open Source Technology Assisted Practice Application Suite, which is designed specifically for physicians in clinical settings, and includes calendaring, messaging, and document storage, using both a web interface and PalmOS 5-based handheld systems. The messaging system in completely encrypted. OpenTAPAS is developed by the EGADSS Team at the University of British Columbia, and is headed by a family physician who is currently in clinical practice, and is backed up by the Vancouver Costal Health Service. Not only is it actively developed and maintained, but the project output is used by about 25 physicians in their day-to-day operations.

    The document storage/retrieval system uses Plucker, a standard PalmOS document format and reader for offline hyperlinked document storage and viewing.

    The jSyncManager is a pure Java, Open Source data synchronization system for PalmOS-based handhelds. It is completely platform portable, and provides a multi-port synchronization server which can synchronize hundreds of handhelds simultaneously through a single process. It is very highly optimized, and supports the jConduit plug-in architecture (it can also run conduits written for Palm's Conduit Development Kit for Java (aka "jsync", but no relation to the jSyncManager, which predates Palm's use of the name), if you're so inclined). Adding new synchronization routines is easier than other Linux-based PalmOS synchronization solutions, is easier for end-users to use (no "press HotSync first then start your application" junk like with some other systems...just drop your handheld into the dock and press the HotSync button as you would on Windows), and provides a security authentication module (which currently uses 4-factor security to identify users and handhelds, to ensure outsiders can't synchronize to your system).

    And it's all Open Source software, licensed under the GPL/LGPL.

    If you're interested, let me know and I'll get you in touch with the leader of the OpenTAPAS project personally. The project is evolving (Phase II of development is set to start very soon, implementing an encrypted patient record system which will synchronize with standard eHealth record formats so you can carrry patient summaries and mark up patient records on your Palm), so there is a lot of good stuff coming down the pipe. And as it's Open Source, as they say, the more the merrier!

Then there's the fact that, IIRC, Evolution still has no notes function. JPilot is small, fast, simple and just works. You can even use it to sync up with AvantGo with the mal plugin. I even use JPilot without the palm, as it's a nice little PIM program.

    And before you ask, there is no working Mozilla/Thunderbird/Sunbird integration that I am aware of. JPilot can integrate with Sylpheed's address book, and I've written scripts to go to and from Thudnerbird, but it's usually a boring, tedious job that I tend not to repeat too often.

    I use JPilot with my Sony Clie TJ-37, a great PalmOS device. As a bonus, the drive mounting works quite well with newer 2.6 kernels.

    So you mean the reason it's impossible to read a paper prescription is that they're writing in Grafitti?
