I bought a Palm Z22 device from Fry's for 2 primary reasons.
1. Use it as low cost PIM
2. Try out Embedded Linux, if possible
Reason why Palm Z22
1. It is inexpensive - $99 (+tax)
2. It is light weight
3. I had Plam IIIx for more than 4 years and it generally serves the PIM part well
4. Size fits into my pant pocket
I realized couple of new things while investigating to install Linux and was wondering if you want to help me in completing this part.
1. Palm Z22 is new device (Oct 15, 2005) - not much details in open source community yet
2. Pure Open Source Linux is not commonly/widely available - in a easily canned form (like what you get for PC)
3. Many sites Linux point me to Palm III series, Tungsten or Palm Live not to any of the Zire
This makes me to venture into giving it a shot my self - instead of having to wait for it to be already available in binary format. Would you be interested in helping in your spare time (as hobby)?
