MiniMo(zilla) Pictures Are Out
A current light weight version of Mozilla’s browser, named Minimo, works only on Linux-based PDAs. A new version, that will work on the Window’s CE OS, is nearly complete. There are still some integration issues that need to be dealt with but all-in-all the port has went well. If you are interested in trying out the development builds you can do so here. The final build may not be ready for some time but pictures of the browser in action have already started circulating the web.
“The first release to the general public will be in about four months,” he said. “We are hoping to be producing nightly builds starting at the end of March. Nightly builds are…for quality assurance and those that live a bit dangerously.”
Minimo developers have already completed basic work on the project, but they are looking for extra developers to work on improving the user interface, Turner said on the MozillaZine news site.

What kind of creepy/ugly metal robot with washboard abs is that?
Good luck on “miniMo”…exactly how many Linux based PDA’s are there?

The strange character one my site is the Mercury 5000 Battle Robot
Info: Speed and stealth are key when it comes to battlefield recon. The Mercury 5000 is fast, smart, and practically invisible in action. Employing the latest advances in quantum feedback tacking, we’ve designed a machine that moves so fast it works outside of the timestream. Send and receive messages before they’re generated. Find out where the enemy is going before they know it themselves! It’s all possible with power to spare from the 5000’s QT-Atomic reactor encased in a sleek and powerful body.

Here are some companies and models of Linux-based PDAs. I agree that ther aren’t that many and it is suprising that they would build the minimo on that platform…I guess it was easy to code and open source.
Sharp’s Zaurus SL-5500 Linux PDA
Archos PMA400 Linux Based PDA
Invair Filewalker (company in Germany)
Royal Lin@x
Agenda VR3
You can see a good list of them here.
