No problem with a Palm - there seems to be lots of Linux software for
Palm, both for connectivity and software development. Well I hope so, as I
just bought the new Palm m100.
  I think the Palm has succeeded so well because it is fairly "open". It
is easy for anybody to write software for it.

m100 is only $299 from au.buy.com. That cant last with the AUD plummet.
