Just bought an Apache last night off ebay.. d'oh!  Are you running WM
5, 6, or 6.1?  I'm guessing you've seen http://ppckitchen.org/ ?

They've ported Linux and Android to Apache.  But, as you say, the
phone part is not yet working.  I heard today on #htc-linux that there
is at least 1 person still working on getting the Apache going.  And,
if any of the HTC's have phone, maybe it wouldn't be hard to port.  It
seems like if they're able to hack WM to work, then maybe it can be
reverse engineered to discover how the phone works.

There are supposed to be pictures here (but it gives me some security error):
