I was asked to post links to a linux handheld I mentioned called
Agenda. It will I hope run Icon - it has a command line interface as
well as a graphical one. So I take the liberty of posting.
It seems many handhelds COULD run Linux, but are not usually
shipped that way. There are lots of projects running already, & I
can't judge how far they have got. There should be links later.
I found an article via ZDNET by Rick Lehrbaum of LinuxDevices.com
