Hi, you have chosen openmoko very well for your project. Just a few notes that might be interesting for you: As for good power management - it's given by HW design and linux kernel. You can't affect very much from userspace. You can get 4-5 days on one battery charge, if the phone is in suspend (PMU+RAM+modem is on, rest if off). Take a look at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenWRT - they have also very minimal userspace (just few megabytes) and nice kernel-like build system. Btw why X11 for such project? Wouldnt be framebuffer enough? Anyway good luck with your project, let us know if you have something working.
