That's where Appalm comes into it for me. It's a port of YAE too.
I'd love a Zaurus. I'm a big fan of PalmOS, but I would like a handheld
linux device. In spite of my best efforts I can't get Garux/palm linux to
work correctly on my Palm.

Nice resolution. That would be something to see. IIRC mine is 320 x 480.

I didn't realise the Zauruses err Zauri? Zaura? Those things had hard
drives. Sort of like that LifeDrive thing. I can understand preferring not
to have a harddrive in a handheld.
I liked the conversation on Usenet a while back about high speed emulation
of the 6502 on an ARM CPU. I couldn't help thinking about my Palm's Intel
XScale CPU, which if I'm not mistaken has an ARM core.
That could make for a really nice fast emulator.
Tristan.
