If you use the new serial manager APIs there should be no difference. Just remember the Clie line does not have a RS232 port. They have a TTL logic level port controlled by a serial UART. If the device you plant to 'talk' with requires RS232, you will need to add a line level driver to the serial cable. Most Clie serial cables use a line powered RS232 level driver which I've found does not reliably communicate with some devices especially if you rely on hardware flow control.
