Good idea, I don't know who is working on anything like this. I don't
know how to figure out the population for use of such things, either,

I just picked up a Sharp Zaurus PDA, it is Linux based, and it should be
a snap to run any of the Linux based software on it (or port any C
applications to it with some fine tuning :-) I'm just starting to
explore the little thing...the Geek factor is pretty high.
