Handheld PDA units running Linux (or not)

A list of supported apps is at http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006

Porting other apps is pretty straightforward, the biggest issues with
GUI apps are dependencies and compressing the GUI so that it is still
usable on a small screen.  Gtk apps are particularly easy to port, it
seems.

I tried to sell someone at Canada Computer on the idea of selling
them, but it didn't seem to work, otherwise they'd be stocking them by
now.  Tigerdirect sells them, but the price ventures beyond
ridiculous, into the territory of drug induced hallucinations.
Therefore, I'm not actually sure if they sell it, maybe I'm just out
of my mind ($483 to be exact, when the thing has an MSRP of 350USD).
