 I use a Bluetooth adapter on my home computer (running Linux) so that
I can use my Treo 650 to surf the net anywhere in my house. Comes in
handy sometimes. I can also SSH in to my Linux box from upstairs and
run whatever I like.

 I can also run Linux *on* my Treo 650, using the directions and images

 ...but there are limitations. The Bluetooth doesn't work yet, nor
does the phone portion, and the keyboard is limited in functionality.
Booting Linux off the SD card turns it into just a PDA, but it's
interesting nonetheless and I'm keeping tabs on their progress.

 Sincerely,
