I don't think we are looking at using either the winCE or the palm OS. We
are looking at using Linux because we can modify it and there are no
license issues. Besides if you run wince together you get the right effect
of the OS. The only possible advantage is that if you can pus the OS out
of the way the devices have more memory. The OS has major problems though.

There is a port of Linux that is aimed at WinCE machines. Haven't had the
chance to read the pages on it yet. But I don't see us having the
resources to chase an extra platform. Besides, the PalmOS devices are
available in a form that allows the complete displacement of the OS. such
is not true for WinCE. But the whole thing is we are not looking to move
to another OS. we are looking to adapt hardware to Linux.
