also from the little time i looked over it on the net it seems :
there's a developer community to this platform , some of it even
open source - or at least freewares .
i it won't be hard to get low cost dev. tools , or even free .
here's a starting link for the article that gave me this idea :

so what do you think ,all you embedded gurus ?
sincerly

it's little bit hard to find detailed technical information , about
interfaces . i'll try more .
but it's easy to find how to make a cartridge , etc..
