well, finally, other palm people on this list! something i know about!
all of the palm devices are use serial connections to connect to the
host computer. (except mac people have to get special stuff to
connect) the new handspring units come with USB cradles by default,
although you can purchase a separate serial -based cradle. since i dont
have any USB devices, except for two ports on my mboard, i havent quite
figured out if linux is USB friendly yet. is it?
do you own a visor yet? if so let me know how it is.
i have developed a few apps for palm os, but one thing i havent got
running in linux is the special version of gcc for compiling my apps.
anyone done this? is it difficult?
:P
