Speakup & Ubuntu & PDAs

[Keith Watson]

Glenn,

Their menuing system may not be open source, but they provide all 
the access you want to hook to it. Also it has a console mode 
that is standard linux and you can do whatever your heart desires 
there. I have installed linphone there and am looking at 
installing a couple of other apps on the device, which Levelstar 
and APH may not support, but which I can do because they have not 
closed the system to me. Quite the contrary, it's mine and I can 
do whatever if feel appropriate to it. So to answer your 
statement, yes you can install whatever your heart desires on it 
and have all the fun that I am having.
