Re: [TCLUG:18739] Handspring and Linux?

["andrew nemchenko" <drew@usfamily.net>]

You know I checked their website and they say that linux is not supported by
their software. Because they not only use a different cradle than Palm they
also use different software because of the way their PDA is built. The Palm
uses flash Rom to store all its files and the OS, so you can upgrade the OS.
You can't upgrade the Handsprings OS just because of different internal
archetecture. So unless they provide software for linux youre out of luck
because palm sync software will not work.
