The hx4700-port mailing list is at 
<https://www.handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/hx4700-port>.  There are 
hx4700 devices around that various people are selling, and I recall 
seeing some announced on the list recently.  Otherwise, check eBay.

Of course, the hx4700 has already been EOL'ed by HP, so that's the 
end of any further vendor support.  But the WiFi works, CompactFlash 
works, SecureDigital works, dual-boot Windows Mobile & Linux works 
(through Ramdisk Rescue and HARET.EXE), etc....

So far as I know, about the only thing that is marginal right now is 
Bluetooth, and of course the kernel version that's available is 
relatively old, because the hardware is pretty old.
