The development of the Linux ports for Palm OS is fast. The newest story: Hackndev.com writes about the newest Linux for the T|T3, which supports booting from a SD card and mounting it in Linux. Now, according to the T3 page in the Handhelds.org Wiki everything works on the T|T3, except Bluetooth – but they are already working at Bluetooth support -, turning the device off and on and sound.

While many other Palms are supported by Linux, too, the T3 is the most supported machine. The most unsupported machines are TE, TE2 and T5 while the TE2 and T5 ports were just updated, supporting touchscreen,… So I’m very optimistic that many Linux ports will be ready and user-friendly, at least next year!

  5. Well… TE is not really unsupported… http://palmtelinux.sourceforge.net/ stated the effort and some people documented the process in http://www.mazleg.com/palmtelinux/doku.php. I really really wanna use linux in my TE… I’ve already tried it out (following this doku tutorial) but it hangs on init :/
