Hope everyone enjoyed the presentation. For those of you who missed
it, the executive summary is, IMO the Zaurus is a very nice product
for those who are interested in writing their own software and
tinkering with it, but probably not worth it for the "general public"
since the apps are not as polished as they are for the Palm. Hopefully
future software apps for it will change that.

As far as the license, Phil is correct; however, one caveat, AFAIK,
the desktop software for accessing the addressbook, etc., is closed
source (free binary versions available for Windows and Linux and from
what I understand a Mac version will be released once Ethernet over
USB works on Mac OS X.?).
