	There is not a single WinCE or Linux-based PDA that syncronizes with
Linux natively. That being said, if you install Linux on your iPAQ, you can
ftp/rsync/scp the data across and then write some sort of conduit to
manipulate that data, but there are no tools that do this automatically.

	I find this hilarious, that all these Linux-based PDAs are on the
market, and not a _SINGLE ONE_ syncs with anything but Windows, natively.

> If it depends on the OS, which OS synchronizes with Linux?

	PalmOS-based handheld PDA devices will syncronize with Linux using
any one of over a dozen different tools.
