For a project that I'm working on, we are using iPaqs running Linux
with Lucent WaveLAN cards for 11Mbps access.  The development
is being done by cross-compiling on Linux PCs and most
of the executables are found by the iPaqs via NFS to a Netapp Filer.
And of course, Tcl/Tk is ideal for the front-end applications.
It works great.

The most annoying thing is that the battery-loading iPaq cradle
can not be used when the wavelan card and adapter is in place
(it simply won't fit).

The hand-written recognition is based (IIRC) on the same principles
as the "strokes" library on X, so if you're alreasy using this
on your window manager, it's pretty easy stuff.
