Hello all, So, this post is purely brainstorming. If you're more into practical, please delete now. *grin*
I was just wondering, and this would be a great question for Joseph, how feasible it would be to switch the BSP to Linux? I'm curious because yesterday I came across information about the Braille+, and even though it is a PDA in the truest sense of the word in that I don't think the manufacturer meant for consumers to write long documents or do extensive web surfing, it does boast features that have been previously recommended for the Sense products like an RSS reader. It also features some cool little features like an Internet radio tuner, but best of all, the platform is open source. Though it seems people have mostly developed games for the product, it's feasible that developers could write financial aps, enhanced word processing, etc. Am I off my rocker here? I don't know how much success the Alva product had among consumers, but it seems like something somewhat comparable to the Android phenomenon of a user-driven development. I wonder if switching out Windows CE for Linux would be a terrible inconvenience. At any rate, just a thought, and if anyone has had experience with the Icon or Braille+, please drop me a note off-list. I'd love to ask you a few questions.
