A Palm-Compatible PDA for $100? 11
LinuxWolf asks: "This ad on PDABuzz is for an Oregon Scientific OSPro (2MB). The device has 2MB of memory, a screen size slightly larger than the Palm, little bit more software than the Palm, IrDA capability, and (allegedly, according to advertisements) "Compatible with PalmPilot". The regular price is $279, but the ad site has it listed for $79. This is really cool, but then I ask, "can it run PalmOS software?" The OS in use is a proprietary one, but I cannot find any additional information on this thing. Oregon Scientific does not seem to have a FAQ or sales e-mail, either. Anybody know more?"

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

It would be nice to believe, but it looks like a cheap knock-off for people who can't tell the difference.

I have an old PDA for which only a few apps were produced, and I have no use for the games and few specialized apps for it. I'll be getting either a Palm or a Linux handheld.

What I wanted to know is how one could create applications for it - games, real apps, etc. I mean, for all of the wonderful ways that TI calculators are used for games, you would think this device could be used that way as well...
Anybody know of any compilers, etc for it?
