Wow Jody,
Google, uDig, CE and LGPL all in the same sentence on an OSGeo
list .. I wasn't prepared for that :) ha ha
Seriously though...
I have personally been struggling with finding the 'ideal' open
source hardware platform for mobile apps. I think the handhelds.org
folks are on the right track, but we are missing mobile OSS geo apps.
While David is mentioning a software solution, I'd also like to get
discussion going around a recommended hardware platform.
Anyone have any ideas? I also have an Ipaq loaded with linux/
familiar and want to make the most of it. I will post some more
ideas when I get some time.
