[iPAQ] Using Rococo's JSR-82 with BlueZ on an iPAQ?

Hi all!

I'm involved in a team who's developing an application relying on Bluetooth and
we're on a student budget :(

For the proof of concept, we really aim at providing something running on a
non-PC platform. For simplicity and portability, we'd use Java as much as
possible.

I know that JBlueZ is available for free, but I personally have a preference
for
solutions that are closer to existing standards.

I found Rococo's implementation of JSR-82 for free, but the supported hardware
is the expen$ive Zaurus platform.

I am currently investigating this option:
-Compaq iPAQ with built-in Bluetooth port
-Familiar Linux
-BlueZ
-Kaffe
-Rococo SDK for linux (implementing JSR-82)
-Anything else I'm missing?

And I was wondering if anyone ever tested it, and wrote code for that?
So far, Google lead me to a few hints that this was done, but nothing really
documented either.

Since this is a significant investment of time and money, I can't afford to
pick a bad platform, nor am I eager to beg the Dean for the large sum that the
Zaurus option demands...

What does your experience suggest? Is this scenario possible/reccomandable?
What tried-and-tested alternatives do you know?
