I share the sentiments and the frustration.

As a Zaurus user from the SL-5500 days I know just how great and satisfying Linux on a handheld can be.

I do wonder what happened to all that Zaurus activity, Moblin, the Netbook projects (not to mention Maemo, Mer and Meego) does all of that work just disappear forever into thin air? I guess it does.

Headlines such as this come along from time to time and give me hope but it is always a false dawn
“Sony Encourages Linux On Their Phones”

I mean, if Sony actually did what the headline says I would probably buy the damn phone.
