It was me. I was more exploring the possibility. > 159.99 and wondered whether that might do the trick. It's more than the amount I'd have to make an impulse purchase of both it and a PDA. Plus (obviously) I'd like to be able to build perl on my PDA (note on, not cross compile) so that sort of seems to mean running Linux would be good for that, and they do mention "with our driver" which starts to suggest that it wouldn't work on an iPaq running Linux, because I guess that market is too small to be of commercial interest.

However, these guys seem to give it a good review: http://www.ppcsg.com/pages.php?page=FlyJacket+i3800 (just skimmed that) Nicholas Clark
