Unless I'm mistaken, these devices don't have memory management
units.  NetBSD currently relies on there being an MMU.  While
some folks have speculated about a version of NetBSD that could
run on a system without demand paging, no one has done the work
or paid for the work to be done.  I believe that some version of
"uCLinux" is running on the PalmPilot.

Of course, you can use NetBSD (on any system with a serial port
or USB, I think) as a host for talking to a Palm or Handspring
device.  I use NetBSD/i386 with my aging Palm Professional.

However, there are a number of MIPS-based handhelds that are
supported by the hpcmips port of NetBSD.
