About:
PalmOrb is software that allows you to use your PalmOS device as an LCD status display for your computer. You can display system stats (such as CPU load graphs, CPU temperatures, free disk space), news alerts, stock indexes, WinAmp graphs, etc. It works by pretending to be (or emulating) a real LCD (a Matrix Orbital LK204-25). You can use existing software that expects a Matrix Orbital display.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
Since 0.9, robustness was increased and support was added for PalmOS 2.0+, color, serial port configuration, BlueTooth Infrared, USB on Linux, and both new and old serial managers. Graffiti can be used to send keys. More built-in help text was added. Hi-res and color icons were added. Many smaller additions include backlight control, error warnings, serial stats, and serial error stats.

[»] USB Palm support!
by Chris Lansley - Nov 25th 2004 16:58:54

USB Palms are supported on both linux and Windows.

For USB support on Windows you will need LCD Smartie 5.3 alpha 3 or above, and PalmOrb alpha 2 or above.
