Linux on Treo 650

Image from carafaja - plogJust to start talking about smartphones and hacks, a friend at Globo.com, sent me a very interesting link about how to install Linux on a Treo 650. What it’s interesting is that it just alters the boot to the SD card and then you install an Linux image there, so your palmOS stuff is all safe and unaltered.

I am going to borrow my wife’s 680 and give it a try :-)

What a coincidence! Is this a divine message trying to convince me to buy Treo??!? E61 is out of stock and I’m starting to consider buying a Palm…

What do you think?

No, don’t give up on E61, if you waited that much just wait a little more and buy the E61i. I liked Palm devices but it still not as good as the E-series Phones
