From the same developer who hacked a version of Android to work on the Zaurus comes the start of another interesting project; Ubuntu on Zaurus.  It’s currently only a v0.1 release, takes about 80Mb, and needs a fair bit of work before it’s a serious alternative option, but it bodes well for the future.  More details at LinuxDevices with the downloads hosted at zaurus.org.uk.

Having released the SDK and Emulator for Google’s new phone OS, Android, a group of developers worked out that the development version of the OS, which was designed to boot an ARMv5 development board, would also boot other similar hardware, which includes the Sharp Zaurus PDA range. Apart from bringing a new lease of life to these PDAs, it has produced more devices suitable for developers to use in the short term.
