hi,
perhaps giving out the design for non commercial and strictly private
use would be something hp can consider just because there is no
"business case" for them in the design. (this would strength the
developer community anyhow giving hp to a later stage the chance to
profit from it as an alternative to the microsoft driven line in there
products) okok very strategic in this point *grins*
but something that do not cost any money and gives good repuation:-)

ps: after some "little" changes of the sources i have
2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh3 up and running here ... just like allways ... pm
do work, pcmcia do not. if someone is interested i would be happy to
share my sourcetree. (i am not a programmer but a user so my changes
are VERY dirty and for sure not good)
