I haven't done anything with mine for ages because I breadboard-based converter cable failed (all the wires pulled out!) and while I have a cheapo USB phone cable that will work, I still need to put a plug on it. Unfortunately, most embedded Linux toolchains these days want a bit more memory than the E3's 32MB. It'd be nice to use something like Maemo, but I doubt that would be at all feasible... I did nearly get GPE running on it once, but it chronically ran out of memory; someone else on the list had more luck with QTopia (check the list archives).
I've been thinking lately about resoldering 64MB of RAM and 128MB of Flash on the E3 with a hot air station. I think it should be possible and it would greatly improve the experience.
