Werner Heuser |=| dillo the extremely small Web browser for PDAs and embedded devices has released a new version (0.8.0)[2]. This promissing project is looking for sponsors. |=| OPIE 1.0.3 for SHARP-ROM 3.1 and derivatives has been released[3]. The Opie PIM applications will replace the original Sharp apps but uses its own "old" data format (applies to Sharp ROM 3.1x and derivates). On uninstall the Sharp apps will be restored. |=| An OPIE Source Development Kit (SDK) is finally available[4]. More news about Open Source solutions for Linux PDAs are in the second edition of the OOO OpenZaurus Newsletter[5]. |=| Linuxant announced version 1.6 of their DriverLoader for the next-generation Intel Centrino and other Wireless LAN devices 802.11g 54Mbps. Though Intel has renewed their often given promise to provide WLAN drivers for their Centrino technology[7].
