Handheld Devices
Handheld devices (also known as handhelds) are pocket-sized computing devices that are rapidly gaining popularity as the access to information in every walk of life becomes more and more mission critical. Along with mobile computing devices such as laptops and smartphones, PDAs represent the new frontier of computing as desktop computers find less and less favour among every day users.

GPE Palmtop Environment
The GPE Palmtop Environment provides a user interface environment for palmtop/handheld computers running the GNU/Linux or any other UNIX-like operating system.
GPE is not a single piece of software, but an entire environment of components which make it possible to use your GNU/Linux handheld for standard tasks such as Personal Information Management (PIM), network access and multimedia and various other purposes. Apart from its main focus to provide a GUI environment for palmtop/handheld computers it is useful on all sorts of mobile devices with only limited resources.
In addition GPE provides an infrastructure for both easy and powerful application development and good compatibility to existing desktop solutions. GPE uses the X Window System, and the GTK+ widget toolkit. Besides providing core software such as shared libraries, and perhaps more importantly, the GPE environment defines standards for program design and interaction. It is based on the C programming language and other common standards such as SQL, XML, DBUS.
GPE is committed to the Open Source idea. All GPE core components are released under GNU licenses, applications using the GPL and shared libraries using the LGPL. Those allow for the most free usability of the GPE system.
