Surprisingly, I am also on blinux because of my interest in
speech-output interfaces. I was thinking of how to get some sort of
speech environment on my iPAQ, but I don't have enough memory to run
Emacs so I sort-of lost interest. ;) That said...

... what do you want to do with a PDA? I'm always open to project
suggestions, and I've played around a bit with festival lite on the
iPAQ (if memory serves me correctly; it's been a while). The input is
fairly limited since the iPAQ only has a few buttons. People who want
to seriously use a PDA might be better off with a Zaurus, since that
has a built-in keyboard. You can probably do _some_ form of input with
the buttons on an iPAQ, but I'm not sure how good that is as a user
interface, and we all know how wonderful speech recognition is right
now. <wry grin> Still, the iPAQ can probably read books and contacts
and... umm... hmmm. Play chess?

You might want to get in touch with jamey@handhelds.org - he can get
you in touch with whoever sets up the mailing list, or he'll set up
one for you instead. Nice guy.
