We already reported the last week about Hack&Dev (http://www.hackndev.com) and their success with Linux on a LifeDrive or Tungsten|T3. Now their are some news:

  • On their news site you can read that there is a patch for Palm Zire 72, so this device should be compatible now.
  • As you can see on one of their pictures, they managed to run X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System) on Treo 650. The touchscreen doesn’t work yet, but as it uses the same codec as the LifeDrive it should be done soon.
  • The member _H_o_L_E_ of the German Palm board Nexave managed to run GPE on his Tungsten|T3. Below some screenshots:



You can see GPE – the GUI and some apps. While you run GPE the Palm has to stay connected with the desktop by cable as it runs GPE via NFS. The device cannot be powered off, and there is no support for Bluetooth, etc. – yet. You can view further pictures in the German board: http://www.nexave.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=18691 (it’s a very large thread. You can find the pictures in the 60th reply).
