Supports Linux.

Zentek announced they should start selling in 2007 a 1Seg digital TV tuner on a SD card, for PC and PDA.
This SD card (measuring 24x55x2.1mm) will support Windows XP, Windows CE, and Linux.

If I plug this "SD - TV Tuner" into my Iogear Pocketdrive, then into USB, will this work?

No. The "Iogear Pocketdrive" is just a fancy name for "memory card reader". I doubt that the tuner card will behave like a standard memory card.

it most likely also needs sdio support and we all know how difficult that is without source code, so unless they provide a driver for the Zaurus (which distro? which kernel revision? which Z model?) and an application (again, X11 based? QT/E version x.x based?)
the chances for it to work on the Z therefore is very very slim
