    It looks like this machine's specs would be a much better match for MorphOS than the resource hungry Linux they're trying to put on it. It makes me wonder if there were ever talks about putting MorphOS on this machine. Android is also under consideration for its OS, as is WindowsCE. Ouch.

    Also, has anyone heard of the Xburst CPU they're talking about? Offered by Ingenic Semiconductor of China, it's rumored to be a non-standard RISC implementation of some kind.

    It seems like a low power device like this could become very common, providing a great 'foot in the door' for MorphOS to find a much larger audience. Seems like it would be reasonable to do it like Apple-a 'fat binary' scheme for either architecture, PPC or Xburst.

    I'd love to have a little gizmo like this running MorphOS :-)
