Is anyone looking into familiar on something other than the iPAQ?

I really like the choice of GTK+, Python and ssh a lot, but until
Compaq is willing to sell an iPAQ without any profit going to
microsoft, I'm not even going to consider buying one, and I'm
recommending to everyone I know (and some I don't :) that they not buy
an iPAQ either, funded port or not. It's just _wrong_ for MS to get
profit from PDA's that will only be run with Linux.

Maybe familiar will be ported to the VR3, Yopy and/or something else?
I heard Yopy is going GTK+ eventually - are they planning to sell with
Familiar preinstalled?

I think it'd be great if Familiar could become the linux pda standard
- as it is, there's a lot of fragmentation in the linux pda market due
to gui issues.

TIA.
