I'd love to know, too.  It looks like their development tools
support Linux, which would be a big plus (developing for Palm on Linux
is such a PITA), but someone on slashdot implied that their sync app
only runs on Windows, and their web site doesn't say anything one
way or the other (the closest I could find to platform information
is that it comes with a "PC Sync Cable").

What I'd really like is Linux for the Diamond Mako (Psion).
It's a much better PDA hardware-wise (bigger screen, qwerty keyboard),
but there's no EPOC development toolkit for Linux.  There's a PsiLinux
project on Sourceforge but it doesn't look like it's very active.
