How can you load the products software onto a linux operating system
I am wondering the same thing. Apparently other units they make do work with Linux. I just got one. I'd like to use it directly if I want but for $130 you can get a portable hotspot which has the option to use it's battery to run about 4 hours. It allows up to 8 devices to have wifi access. Since my Blackberry does UMA and I have an Archos PMP this is really the best way to go for me.
