I saw a Japanese version of this at the JavaOne 2001 conference.  I 
agree that these are pretty slick.  The one I saw had bash running.  You 
could type all your favorite commands like ls, etc.  So it can be done, 
there are many people who want to run customized Linux distributions on 
these.  There's also a WiFi card that you can add on to get wireless 
network access.  That would be cool.  This year the JavaOne conference 
had a special on the developers version, including the WiFi card and 
developer kit for $299.  Don't know if you can get this deal elsewhere 
however....
