Has anyone successfully managed to run PD on a handheld?
If so, I would be very grateful if you would let me know which handheld and OS you tried, what kind of difficulties you encountered, and other such things.
Thanks.
On a side note I was just able to control PD (Gem specificially) from a tcl/tk application running on a HP Jordana 690, over wireless ethernet. The processor is quite slow so the feedback is not the greatest. But it would be possible with the newer 790 to get more fine control. Could be another solution to render your sound on one machine based on your interaction wirelessly over the handheld.

I have been successfully using GrIPD on a laptop that communicates, via
wireless networking, with a separate audio server machine for a while
now. It makes the concert setup considerably simpler since you don't need
to run audio from the stage to the house and all. Anyway, I don't really
know anything about handhelds, but GrIPD might be made to work with them.
For Linux you'd need wxPython and GTK+ although it might work with Motif.
It might also be possible to get it running on WindowsCE, since wxWindows
is just a wrapper for the native Windows GUIs, although I must admit that
I have absolutely no clue on what WindowsCE will run. anyway, it's
something to consider. If you play around with this, let me know, I would
be very interested in this, even though I don't currently own a handheld.

Yes, I run it on my iPaq 31xx using familiar linux. There is a version of pd 0.32 at ftp://xdv.org/pub/gige/PDa* compiled for arm and the corresponding sources.
The problems were that I had to make substantial changes to pd in order to do integer calculations only, because the system doesnt have a floating point processor. Some things are not ported yet, like arrays, for example.
Basically this should be compilable on other operating systems too..
