I'm running ion as well on my iPAQ without any
problems thusfar.

As long as apps don't try to dictate their lay-out
everything works fine (an exported xmms for instance,
to use it as a wireless remote control for playing
music doesn't really look nice).

What i like best is the fact that ion is aware of the
rotation capabilities of the X-server. I use my iPAQ
in landscape mode most of the time. Gives me 320 width
(thus partly overcoming Alan's top bar problem).

I think ion is a very good choice as a wm for the
psion as well.
