Can SPEAKUP run on an IIPAQ?

We have a cool foldable keyboard made by targus hooked to our iPaq, it's
awesome. Fold to the same size as the iPaq, weighs less, and hooks right
on to it. 

The iPaq supports, USB (via a pcmcia slot) it also has a sleeve for a
pcmcia slot and that means there could be a hardware synth. But, there
will also be a software synth available soon and that can run on the
iPaq as well.

Ok, we have established that Linux can be installed. But the answer to
the
original is a solid no. It is just not possible today. There is no
synth
inside the thing. Unless I missed a major anouncement: no synth = no
speakup.

Here are the things you will need to tackle on your quest:
no synth
no keyboard

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
