The GPE Palmtop Environment or simply GPE aims to provide a Free Software GUI environment for palmtop and handheld computers running the GNU/Linux operating system. GPE uses the X Window System, the GTK+ widget toolkit, and the Matchbox window manager. The HP Jornada 72x. The Compaq iPAQ and Sharp Zaurus are among the currently supported devices. Support for the Treo 650 [link] and other devices [link] is under development .
GPE is not a single piece of software, but a complete environment of components which makes it possible to use a GNU/Linux handheld for tasks such as Personal Information Management (PIM). GPE also provides the infrastructure needed by developers; besides providing core software such as shared libraries, the GPE environment fixes standards for program interaction such as SQL, XML and other data schemas.
