Fabrizio, Motorola Labs (http://internet2.motlabs.com/ipaq/index.htm) and our group at NLM (http://etg/project/index.html, see ASKLEPiOS) have both experimented with using vic and rat on handhelds, but using the familiar Linux kernel (http://www.handhelds.org), not PocketPC To the best of our knowledge, no one has yet developed an AG client for this platform, though it is very much on our minds (but, as Derek rightly remarks, poses daunting GUI design challenges).
I don't know about Motorola, but in our work several years back, the audio latency with using rat via 802.11 wireless was crippling. We are hoping our latest efforts on new iron will improve that. We have a huge to-do list of project ideas related to this work -- if you are capable, serious, willing to stick to open source based solution, and have time on your hands, get in touch. :) Cheers, Rick Rodgers > Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 08:29:26 -0500 > From: Derek Piper <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [AG-TECH] AccessGrid on PDA device > > Heh, that sounds fun.
