ComputerWire (via The Register) reports that iAnywhere Solutions may have “inadvertently provided a major shot in the arm for Linux-based PDAs through a tie up with electronics giant Sharp Electronics Corp. The relationship will see the Sybase mobile subsidiary working with the Japanese electronics giant to encourage developers to build Java-based enterprise applications for Sharp’s Linux-powered Zaurus SL-5500 PDA using the iAnywhere m-Business platform.”
