I've had an IPAQ, and i've run familiar linux on it for a while. I've also
tried qpe on it. I also have the targus fold-up keyboard.
My z50 w/ hpcmips has been _more_ useful in the fews days i've had it than
the ipaq ever was.
You need the dual sleeve on the ipaq to do anything useful, the ram is
limited (you can get 3rd party upgrades to 128m now though) and the screen
is just TOO SMALL.
Since I've got hpcmips on my z50, I'm considering flashing wince back on
the ipaq, just so I can do something with it.
The z50 is _no_ comparison to linux on the ipaq, IMHO. The Z50 is thousand
times more useful.
