Yes and no.
Bluetooth works great (I have an Motorola V600 and Palm Tungsten T3), I
can sync my palm and make GPRS connections with bluetooth. So bluetooth
works.
I also have an IPod and you can sync songs with it under Linux, I make
the connection by firewire and I see the IPod like a scsi disc, so you
can use your IPod...
Wifi.... well in this point we have some problems, there is no support
under Linux for the airport extreme.
I use an 3com B pcmcia card, but I have an 15" Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz, in
your case you can't use wifi because you don't have pcmcia port.
