Comment Nice device ... no Linux (Score 1) 279
When the article first appeared I had to go check it out ... the specs read basically the same as my T5 but with WiFi and the 4GB HDD ...
It runs Garnet which is the same PalmOS as the other PalmOne devices just a later version ... it's not Linux and there are no plans to port Cobalt to run on these devices ... Colbalt (future being Linux) is targeted at the Smart Phone devices ... no where has it been said that we will get a flavor of Linux to run on our regular run-o-the-mill PDAs (shame shame)
I like my T5 but I can't see the benefit of the harddrive when all I need to do is carry a few 1GB SD cards and my device is half the thickness ... am I missing something?
Not to knock Palm (I have owned one since the original Pilot 1000) ... <rant>I want more freedom in my OS! Let me run MythTV on my PDA! Let me port NetStumbler so that I can wardrive just like my friends with their iPaqs! Give me a Linux kernel!</rant>
