  Yopy Development Kit
I managed to hook the Yopy to the notebook using the serial cable that came with the yopy.
The yopy had a getty running at 115200 so I used minicom to test the connection to the yopy.
The connection was established and the yopy was on the network.

 LinuxDevCenter.com -- Bootstrapping the YOPY PDA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Derrick Story wrote a short piece about the device in May of 2000, at which time the YOPY was to be released to the public by mid-August.
The developer's version of the YOPY is almost exactly the same size as a Compaq iPAQ in width and height, but about one and a half times as thick and as heavy.
The YOPY is powered by a 1400mA rechargeable lithium-ion battery when being used in the field, or by an AC-line power supply when in its cradle.

 Yopy 3700 Product Review | Linux Journal
A nice add-on to the Yopy is the rainbow row of LED lights in the front of the case.
The Yopy powers off when you close it, unless music is playing, in which case it continues the playback but turns off the screen to save power.
But the Yopy does not perform as good as the Zaurus on the PDA side, mostly due to the lack of application and the PIM problems.

While the Yopy Office programs are listed on the menu, they're only shortcuts, and you'll need to install the application suite itself from the CDROM using FTP and a web browser as mentioned earlier.
The Yopy comes with networking utilities and a configuration application for WiFi cards, however none of the cards we tested (D-Link, Socket, Intel Pro Wireless and Ambicom) worked out of the box with the Yopy.
According to the folks who handle the Yopy, the Linksys WCF12 is compatible, but you'll need to edit some config files.

The Yopy developer kit is now free (it once cost money, a silly choice for a vendor no one has heard of).
The Yopy 3700 is a thick brick-like clam-shell device (most of the thickness is apparently a battery).
The Yopy includes a utility to back up your PIM data to flash memory, protecting it in case you battery runs down (or no longer maintains electrical contact with the rest of the unit, which seems to be happening with my dying Zaurus).

 Yopy comes to Europe - ZDNet UK News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Having survived a tumultuous development and rollout process, Yopy, which was arguably the first Linux PDA, has arrived in Europe.
Since then, Yopy has ceded the handheld Linux spotlight to the high-profile Zaurus SL-5500, Sharp's bid to re-enter the US PDA market.
Yopy is based on a 206MHz StrongARM processor from Intel, the standard in Microsoft's Pocket PC devices until recently.

 Device Profile: Yopy YP 3700 Linux based PDA
G.Mate's $450 Yopy YP 3700 PDA is a flip-open PDA with retro-futuristic styling that features an X windows GUI and fairly ample system resources, making it possible to use a wide variety of open source programs on the device.
The Yopy must be powered down, placed in cradle, and rebooted, and cannot be used except through the PC while docked.
A scroll button on the side of the case assumes different roles according to the application in focus, serving as a scroller for the browser and file viewer and a volume control for the mp3 player.

One truly irritating thing about the YOPY is the unnecessary light on the outside of the display that flashes when you close it.
The YOPY, like all Linux PDAs, lags behind the Palm and Pocket PC platforms when it comes to software (though this may be slowly changing).
The next version of the YOPY should be able to synch directly with Windows in a more intuitive manner.

 Geek.com PDA Review: GMATE YOPY 3700
When I initially wrote this review you could get the YOPY 3700 from SDG Systems for US$459, but it is no longer on that site.
The YOPY 3700 earns 2 Geekheads for Quality because it is very poorly constructed, the display is not well lit, and the flip cover is too flexible when opened.
The YOPY 3700 earns 3 Geekheads for Geekness because it does have two slots, ample memory, high capacity battery, unique flip design, and runs a Linux operating system.

The derivation of the name Yopy is as nebulous as the device itself.
The Yopy rep said that the device will be available in the US by mid-August.

 G.Mate YOPY YP-3700 Linux PDA Review (Pics, Specs)
The YOPY YP-3700 is a new flip-top PDA based around the StrongARM SA-1110 CPU and running a version of Linux called Linupy.
Rumours of a new YOPY release in the US have been circulating for more than a year, but this device is now available through SDG Systems along with a leaner (and thinner) version called the YP-3500.
When the YOPY keyboard is compared side-by-side with the Sharp Zaurus keyboard, neither really dominates.

 GMate Yopy 3500 Full Review at ZDNet UK Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
GMate’s Yopy is a Linux-based handheld, which we first looked at in October last year.
The Yopy sits almost flat in it, so that when the lid is up you can see the screen.
The LCD is backlit, unlike that of the Yopy we reviewed last year, and although it’s not as bright as some transflective screens, it is still pretty good.

The Yopy is expected to retail for $400-600, depending on the memory size(16 or 32).
It is too large to be covered in several sentences, but key points include requiring individuals to freely distribute programs with their source code, and giving individuals the right to modify software in any way they wish, provided they make such changes available to all without cost.
In short, the system shipping with the Yopy can be easily modified as much as one would like in order to suit their demands and preferences.

The YOPY Report, 1 June 2001 It's been two weeks since I got the YOPY.
In the process of playing with the YOPY, I quickly determined that it was somewhat bulky, but that the hardware was otherwise quite nice.
One problem with the YOPY is that it uses 'ext2' (the standard linux filesystem) on the flash storage, with a device driver that emulates a disk interface.

Linux fans were saddened to learn of the death of Yopy, the long-awaited Linux-based PDA, earlier this week.
Yopy was one of the first Linux PDAs to be announced, and development devices shipped last year.
The company said it hopes to begin selling Yopy through retail channels in the US and elsewhere early this year.

Probably in the future the yopy code should be reviewed to integrate it into the rmk or np series.
Change drivers/mtd/sa1100-flash.c so that the address of a partition (I used "root") in the YOPY section is 0x00100000 and length is 0x01f00000 (or whatever you want these numbers to be).
To install the jffs2 filesystem on the yopy, I used the bootloader to copy the jffs2 image into the right memory addresses.

 CNN.com - Technology - Korean startup works hard to pocket Linux - April 19, 2000
The stand visitors were drawn to the Yopy -- a hot little handheld computer running on the Linux operating system which offers a sharp 4-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) panel, access to the Internet and which can even double as an MP3 player.
The company is hoping to launch the Yopy in late June or early July and is targeting a price somewhere between $400 and $600.
Those designs eventually morphed into plans for the Yopy, the device which now keeps a team of engineers hunched over their workbenches to get the device out of the door on time.

Its pen-based graphical user interface was developed by Gmate's developer team, and the company also plans to offer a GIMP toolkit for developers who want to build applications for the device, according to information from the company.
Yopy also features infrared, serial, and Universal Serial Bus ports for PC connectivity.

 Meet the new YOPY - infoSync World
Like the Sharp SL-5000, the YOPY runs on an Intel 206 MHz StrongARM processor, but apart from that nothing is exactly similar - although much of the specifications are relatively similar.
The YOPY runs on G.Mate's own version of Linux, called Linupy, with the X window interface, and uses a 3,5" 240 x 320 pixel resolution 16-bit TFT display - although the company doesn't say whether it is a reflective one, as used in latter Pocket PC 2002 devices and Sharp's unit.
Like most other PDAs, the YOPY is controlled by means of a stylus - but there's also something very unusal for a palm-size form factor PDA; a built-in keyboard that reveals when the PDA is opened, clamshell-style.

 PC World - GMate to Unfold a Linux-Based PDA
The new Yopy PDA folds open, just like a clamshell-type cellular telephone, to reveal a 3.5-inch color LCD on the top half and a 40-key keypad on the bottom half.
Its specifications are similar to those of GMate's original Yopy PDA, which looks like a conventional PDA.
The Yopy made its Comdex debut at last year's event along with some head-mounted displays developed by GMate.

The Yopy does have internet connection capability which is nice considering it has 65k color screen.
I am sure there are some modifications that one must do on both the yopy and the i300 or any other mobile phone to enable it to send data to the yopy.
You would use it like a normal modem either dial your isp or maybe there is a way to connect to sprint pcs and use their network if you had to.

I've been writing that Yopy is coming for a long time now, but I just received word from PDABuzz that the Yopy PDA will be released to developers on January 21st.
I'm not sure who the "developers" are at this point but I can bet that there are a lot of them waiting for this device, especially since the Agenda Linux PDA was reported to be very slow.
I feel very sorry for the first adopters of the Yopy (although it is flash rom, so it's not like you're stuck with an old OS).

 Review: YOPY 3700 - ExtremeTech Discussions
People often compare the Yopy to the Zaurus, but what they fail to mention is that Qtopia 1.7 runs on the Yopy as an application which runs most Zaurus software.
The Yopy community is expanding, a new site www.yopy.lug.org is growing daily with new members and applications.
The Yopy comes with a set of apps and is designed to be expanded and adapted to personal taste, but without having to reflash like a Zaurus or break warranties.

 ITworld.com - Yopy Linux PDA to ship in December
The Yopy was first shown in public more than a year and a half ago, at the Cebit 2000 trade show in Hannover, Germany, and its shipping date has slipped several times since then.
Its most recent appearance at the Comdex Fall 2001 trade show in Las Vegas in November, revealed a drastic redesign to the Yopy.
The PDA is now based on a clamshell design, similar to many cellular telephone handsets, rather than the more traditional PDA form factor.
