Ukrainian hackers don’t wait for Palm’s Linux

July 30th, 2007 by Ryan

The Inq has an article up about Hack&Dev’s efforts to get linux working on various Palm devices:

While customers await the Linux based offerings from Palm Inc and Access/PalmSource, near two dozen “programmers and techies have taken matters into their own hands.

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about Palm OS PDAs and devices running Linux, but it seems it’s not only possible, but that these talented coders have been doing so for quite a while. While the early attempts started a few years ago, with a determined geek porting the micro embedded-Linux “uCLinux” to the early Sony Clie PDAs, these efforts had a short life. But now, with the availability of more powerful devices like the Palm TX sporting high-res screens, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the idea of running Linux on them is much more attractive.
