Hallo, auch im Juli gab es wieder eine Menge neues, praktisches und wissenswertes fuer Linux User mit Laptops, PDAs und Handy. Ich habe den TuxMobil Newsletter nicht uebersetzt. Ich hoffe das ist trotzdem OK fuer diese Liste. Hello, editing the July digest of the TuxMobil News[1] I was impressed by many good news for Linux PDA geeks. Here is an extract of the monthly digest, but note there are much more noteworthy laptop and PDA related issues, so do not miss to check the whole digest[1]. |=| Though SHARP has decided not to bring their new Linux PDA generation to Europe[2], two companies TriSoft[3] and Xtops.DE[4] make the SHARP SL-C750 available on their own. The machines come with German or English documentation and bear the necessary CE certification to be sold in Europe legally. |=| Thanks to the great work of Martin Demin from handhelds.org[5], it is now possible to run Linux on the DELL Axim PDA[6]. It currently only supports load from RAM (not ROM) which means you boot it from Windows, but it's a start. |=| SkyEye is one of the first available simulators for ARM and other CPUs for embedded computers[7][8]. |=| InterPocket offers the first USB-Host-Adapter CF-Card for Linux PDAs[9], which makes it possible to use external USB devices. InHandElectronics released the VCE-B5A01 PCMCIA framegrabber driver[10], to facilitate the development of embedded and handheld devices with real-time video support. |=| The Open Palm Integrated Environment finished the 1.0rc pre-release for the Zaurus[11] and the iPAQ[12]. The Familiar Linux Distribution for PDAs published release 0.7[13]. |=| Some good news for laptop users, too. Finally a battery refurbishment tool for Linux is available (for older laptops only, requires special hardware)[14].
