The GPE Palmtop Environment provide a free software GUI environment for basically any handheld device running Linux (e.g. Sharp Zaurus, Simpad, modified Compaq IPAQ). GPE 2.7 includes not only hundreds of bug-fixes, but also various new applications such as a new mini-browser, a GUI screenshot tool, a new online help bowser, and a port of the popular Internet chat tool Gaim. For desktop syncronization, you can use OpenSync which now includes a plugin for GPE-based PIM apps.

The next release of GPE (V2.8) is planned for June 2006.
