works great (now)
orignal ROM seemed a bit buggy but recent ROM from myzaurus.com makes this a real nice PDA.

Plus lots of PDA-specific software is available at myzaurus.com (actually handango). It's starting to look like the Palm software sites!

Plus unix compatibility makes this a great PDA for people who want convenience like Palm but a real powerhouse behind the scene (install terminal and get a real bash prompt!).

In addition to the PDA-specific stuff available (.ipk packages) you can also install real linux software from debian.org since it comes with dpkg, tho since these packages are full size, you'd probably want to install them to a MMC or CF card! Not a problem, tho, since CF now comes in 512MB sizes. Be careful, tho, since most CF comes formatted for DOS and debian packages expect to be able to make symlinks.
