I have an H3630 (or 3600) (I'm not sure what the difference is). It's
got 16mb of flash and 32mb of RAM, colour screen etc.
At the moment, I'm running OPIE (opie.handhelds.org) the handhelds.org
fork of QTopia, there are a few screenshots up at
http://pkl.net/~trj/ipaq/. With opie I manage to fit a full PIM suite,
konqueror, a terminal and assorted other bits into my flash.
Underneath OPIE is a base familiar install with ipkg etc.
I also have a 340mb IBM Microdrive, a stowaway foldup keyboard (broken
at the moment) and the dual PCMCIA sleeve, so I can use the HD at the
same time as ethernet (and hopefully wireless in the future).
This weekend I've been working on a PS/2 to serial converter so I can
plug in a regular PS/2 keyboard. The hardware seems to be working, I
just need to write some linux drivers for it :)
