what version/kernel is it based on??
there is a linux pda called simputer that's available here, and its really hard to get applications for that particular kernel. so they get a linux app, cross compile it with the linux pda kernel.. and then they port it to the pda hardware.
but, i really doubt if there are many 3rd party applications available for the linux handheld.
hope it helps.

@masseur,
there isn't like a universal linux verison out there for handhelds (like symbian uiq/palm os/windows mobile)...
so they use different kde's, and they use different processors as well. since linux handheld is still an emerging market, there aren't as many developers available to make softwares. its a question of demand and supply again.
i couldn't find many apps for the linux pda on sourceforge.net...

I wouldn't have a clue
Although I am a developer I have nothing to do with linux.
In my post here I was just relating some info which may have been missed from the other thread which sounded useful

@ masseur
hey thanx! that would be great! coz the only thing that si stopping me to get the A780 is the non existence of 3rd party applications for it being it a linux phone!
