Excuse my ignorance but can you stick on of those 1G microdrives in them? (quite cheap as www.scan.co.uk (?127 ex vat!) at the mo)
I have a Compaq iPAQ and an IBM 340mb microdrive. The drive itself is CompactFlash so you can use it with the CF iPAQ jacket, or you can use it with a PCMCIA adapter and the PCMCIA jacket (which I do).
Having a decent sized disk means that (for the iPAQ at least) you can run Intimate (http://intimate.handhelds.org) which is basically Debian for iPAQ.
(However, sadly the main battery in my iPAQ is dead and refuses to charge. I think a new one would cost me about �50.)
