AFAIK, the following Motorola's page is very informative:

  Internet2 > Handhelds with CVE's
  http://internet2.motlabs.com/cve_handhelds/

There are recipes, presentations and videos about AG on iPAQ.


Besides, we have tried running VIC on Linux/iPAQ Pocket PC and
succeeded partially.  VIC runs on Familiar Linux, which is a Linux
distro for iPAQ Pocket PC, and show received video.

But we could not capture video because we do not have a video capture
device usable with iPAQ.  There is certainly several capture devices
which work on Linux/iPAQ, for example video capture jacket for iPAQ.
But we have only IBM Smart Capture Card II, it works on Linux/x86 and
not work on Linux/iPAQ even though I tried porting the device driver
to ARM processor.

Anyway, there are pictures of such an AG node based on iPAQ on the
following page:
