Hi Yaniv,

No.
> why?
Multiple reasons. It's not powerful enough, PalmOS
is too limited, programmability too limited, very
poor UI, no support for audio, limited expansion, etc.
In my opinion pda is not the right target. we would
have to make compromises in the design that would
not be good for the full-feature PC based version.
> what are the benefits over pc?
It fits in your pocket. End of benefits.
iPAQ is a different story but this is too niche of
a market to work on I think. Consider that my "PC"
is just a tad bigger than iPAQ and IS a full PC
running slackware, java, or anything else x86 ...

That little ma board is < $400 at advantech.
> interested in such version?
I'm not interested in PDAs at all, I'm working on the
next gen of integration, that's precisely why I want
to run openeeg on my embedded boards. They are full
PCs, just small, I can do everything your desktop
does, and more, while mobile.
