Do any of the linux PDAs sync up with macs? I'm nto a huge fan of palm pdas, and I don't like winCE, but linux seems very interesting for use on a PDA. Does anyone know if any of the linux pdas work wil Mac?

Qtopia has said the s/w is done and they're waiting for the driver from Sharp, or whomever Sharp commisioned to write it. I don't know that Sharp has said anything about it.

I have a Zaurus 5500. I can move files around easily by first transfering to a CF card, then inserting into Zaurus. Syncing with any PIM is DOA, though. Right now I use VirtualPC to keep a backup of the Zaurus. BTW, wanna buy mine? (I just ordered a new Toshiba PocketPC with built-in 802.11b)
