Hi, Thank you for sharing this. I am seriously considering to order the SDK. Unfortunately their developer forums seem to be available only after you ordered the SDK.
The biggest question is how good is their BSP support. Is it open-source (at least source is available for those who license it under an NDA or similar restrictions), so if the Eclair sources are released, one can recompile their BSP against it. Or does one have to wait until they port the drivers and release new builds. If the answer is yes to this, then this device has a great potential to become the best Android platform development device. It is a shame that such a nice device does not have a 3G chip in it, but it is still very nice. I assume that if it will be successful, 3G enabled variations will eventually surface. It would also be nice if the USB on it would support USB host mode, so it could be extended with a 3G module if necessary. Apart from the Zii EGG, the ZMS-05 (and its EVM) seems to be a great development platform. Depending on the price, it might become the next Beagleboard. >From the Android standpoint the greatest problem with Beagleboard and other OMAP based solutions is that it does not have PowerVR 3D drivers available. The drivers that can be downloaded from TI only seem to work with GLIBC and "normal" Linux distributions.
