“Linux Interactive starts project with goal of having a
handheld device built for Linux.”

Linux Interactive
noticed that there isn’t a Linux handheld device out there. Sure,
you can put Linux on a Palm, and many gadgets rely on Linux, but
there isn’t a device that is built to run a full version of the
Linux OS.”

“Our goal is to bring together hardware companies and software
developers in order to have someone produce a device that Linux
users would be proud to carry with them.”
