That would be great to get a real SDK. I'd even settle for a technical
manual! I did some development on the BNS, and it was nice to add custom
apps that could be shared. Maybe they wouldn't have real widespread appeal,
but if you need them, you need them. With a better OS like CE, and the
better hardware in the BrailleNote/VoiceNote, it should be fairly easy.
