from my reading of the site: it seems that the fact that it's running
Linux doesn't help the average user since I think you can't run stock
Linux apps or even sources on it. you'd be stuck with the supplied apps,
until more people write apps for it. until then, you can't compare this with
a Palm - compare it with a fixed-function PDA.
on the bright side, if it can be imported straight from Taiwan then it should
be cheaper in peso terms.
