00:31.42araujohello
00:31.58araujowhat is a good handheld with Linux pre-installed?
00:32.08*** part/#handhelds Benp (n=rudey@tigger2.gotadsl.co.uk)
00:33.19flybackI dunno about pre installed
00:33.23flybackand I don't recommand palm
00:33.29araujohell flyback
00:33.32flybackbut I got linux + opie on my palm t5
00:33.35flybackand I am impressed
00:33.40flybackI can actually multitask now
00:33.41araujoflyback, yeah, palm doesn't look good enough
00:33.47flybacksomething I haven't been able to do for the 2 yrs I had it
00:33.52araujowow
00:33.52flybackI wasted like $500 on this piece of shit
00:33.56flybacknow it's useful again
00:33.57araujohaha
00:34.10flybackespically when I get some $5 bluetooth adaptors
00:34.16flybackand hookup a wire to the serial port
00:34.19araujoflyback, i am looking for something where i can have linux and good wireless support
00:34.23flybackthere is rx and tx pins on the connector
00:34.34araujoit's been difficult for me to find something decent
00:34.57flybacka lot of older ipaqs are easy to convert to linux
00:35.11flybackif I had not worried about warrenty I would have done that
00:35.20flybacknow that I know palm has gone to hell and fucks over their customers now
00:35.26flybackI would have said screw the warrenty
00:35.31flybackget this
00:35.37flyback$400 fucking $$$ for the unit itself
00:35.42flybackbattery starts to wear out after a yr
00:35.50araujowow
00:35.53flybackpalm's response "fuck you just buy another pda"
00:35.59araujo:-P
00:36.10flybacktoo bad for them many battery vendors don't listen :)
00:36.13araujothat doesn't sound like a good response
00:36.19flybackso for $20 and a little soldering I can fix it :)
00:36.25araujohah
00:39.34araujoi was thinking about this n800 device
00:39.47flybackisn't that like $800
00:40.07araujobut it seems like the keyboard in the touch-screen isn't that comfortable
00:40.12araujo500$
00:40.41flybackouch
00:40.55flybackwhat country you in
00:41.17araujovenezuela
00:41.26araujothat's the hard part fo rme
00:41.37araujonot easy to find one here
00:41.37*** join/#handhelds Timelord (n=TL@c-98-196-160-206.hsd1.tx.comcast.net)
00:42.20flybackoh sorry to hear that
00:42.27araujoyeah :-(
00:42.31flybacksorry you are in a nazi dictator's country
00:42.36flybackyou are welcome here in us any time
00:42.50flybackand I hope chavez gets a bullet up his ass
00:45.25araujohahahaha
00:46.03flybackwell espically since that nazi made it illegal to vote against him
00:46.06flybackbut enough of that

01:22.33josesitois there a working stable port of linux for a palm tungsten e2?? or for a nec mobilepro 900??
01:25.52flybacke2 I think so
01:26.41josesitoflyback, i tried it once, from hackndev site, but it wasn't stable, nor usable :P it just booted
01:26.56josesitobut that was long ago
01:27.01flybackI got one on my t5 from that site
01:27.08flybackit work in progress but somewhat usuable
01:27.14flybackmore stable than FAGos (palm os)
01:27.21josesitolol
01:27.28flybackthen again my diseased colon is more stable than palm os
01:27.36flybacklooks like that nec might have jtag
01:27.37josesitoreally? i should then try again
01:27.47flybackbtw the palm linux can use a ram loader
01:27.54flybackloads into ram so you can reboot into palm os when you want
01:28.44josesitoyeah, i know, but they recommend backing everything up, and hard resetting when back to palm (data might get corrupted), has that changed?
01:29.03flybackno
01:29.13flybackbut e2 is flash shadowed like the t5 and tx are
01:29.15flybackafaik
01:29.20flybackso less chance of perm data loss
01:29.24flybackyou can talk in #hackndev
01:30.20josesitohmm...thanks, i'll try it again :)
01:30.54flybackbut good to backup just in case
01:31.00josesitoyup
01:31.03flybackbtw at least on the t5 it has annoying bug to reset the clock
01:31.10flybackwhen you reboot into palm os
01:31.11josesitoflyback, do u use it daily?
01:31.25flybackI found a time/DATE resync when you hotsync in palm os
01:31.28flybackmakes it less annoying
01:31.29flybacksomewhat
01:31.35flybackI can actusally play music and read docs
01:31.38flybacksomething I can't do well in palm os
01:59.16mzb_d800if you want wifi on a "supported" pda, try looking at hx4700 and h4150/4350
01:59.39mzb_d800if you can wait, and don't want to install Linux yourself, perhaps wait for the Neo
01:59.48mzb_d800(should be out sometime soon)
01:59.56mzb_d800(I think it has wifi ... not sure)
02:02.02josesitoi don't care if i have to install it myself (in fact, i'd really like that ), what's really important to me, is the usability, i NEED to have wifi at least...and the mobilepro 900, well i fell in love with it because it's cheap on ebay, and it more powerful than my palm =)
02:04.49josesitooh, and besides, i already have a t|e2....
02:04.51mzb_d800I can tell you from experience, that it takes about 2 or 3 years for _most_ machines to be supported to the level you imply
02:05.21josesitoyeah, i thought on that too, the mobile pro has been out for more than 3 years
02:05.34mzb_d800but if you want something with Linux preinstalled _AND_ all the goodies have a look at the Neo ... I think the model number is 1793 or 1973
02:05.38josesitoand i've heard (and seen) that linux runs on it
02:05.40araujomzb_d800, the openmoko device?
02:05.45mzb_d800that's it
02:05.56mzb_d800iirc it's due for release this month
02:05.57araujoyeah, i have been told about that one too
02:06.06araujoit looks promising
02:06.42araujomzb_d800, i think it's only available for developers atm
02:08.16mzb_d800http://www.openmoko.com/products-neo-base-00-stdkit.html
02:08.45mzb_d800as you say, still "Developer preview"
02:10.00araujoyeah
02:11.05mzb_d800strangely enough, doesn't seem to have wifi at first glance
02:11.25araujoyeah, it doesn't show wifi there
02:12.18mzb_d800but some articles mention it ... so who knows :)
02:12.29araujoyeah?, well cool
02:12.39araujoit should have wifi
