Hey,
I hope you don't mind, I cc'ed the Pd list since I think there are
others interested in this info as well.

If you are working directly on the Palm TX, think of a the Palm TX as
a regular linux box, and the SD card is just a disk. I don't really
think its possible to get much patching done on the device itself. I
write the patches on my laptop, then copy them to the card to run them
on the Palm TX.

I think the wifi is working, but it is still raw, so you have to set
it up in pure command line style.

I have some images with Pd and Python on them but I haven't released
anything yet. I can post some of the test builds somewhere if you are
interested in trying them.
