[iPAQ] wish list

Here's another iPAQ wish list.

1. An ARM Linux distribution to support native development. I'd like
   to NFS-mount a large bucket of bits and immediately be able to
   "make" or "rpm --rebuild". The cross-toolchain works, but makefile
   hacking is tedious, and one has to copy, for example, the X libraries
   over to the cross-host so that linking will work. Ack.

2. A virtual keyboard applet. Maybe it's me, but xscribble is just
   too slow and painful and unreliable. Perhaps that more compact and
   optimized key-tile arrangement I've seen somewhere ("fitaly"?)
   could be offered in addition to qwerty.

3. Virtual window manager (icewm? blackbox?). One desktop is not
   enough. A small panel-bar seems like the right place for
   xscribble/xkeyboard icons and the usual launchers and menus.

4. An application to let me scribble bitmaps and save them (GIMP seems
   like overkill here) and an application to record sound, bound to
   a physical button: press button, speak, release button.

Cheers,
Peter Monta
