Linux has a PDA interface for the m130 running Palm OS. I forgot the name of 
it, but you can at least perform seemingly any function that the m130 does. I 
still use an m130, and even have a mini keyboard for it. I used it when I had 
debian installed, and it had to be downloaded separately.

Of course, this is not repurposing, this is using the palm pilot for its 
intended purpose, so I don't know if that is what you want. But at least it 
clears the air about the m130 not being useful in linux. I know you meant the 
m130s OS, but at least I wanted to clear the air regarding its use under Linux.
