Actually, they do allow you to do just about anything that can be put
into the R/W memory. The ROM is off limits for obvious reasons. But
there is enough functionality in the R/W to replace much of the ROM if
you really want. PDA's are another area where you can pretty much
convert it to another completely different appliance if you want, and
people have. You can even turn your PDA into a pretty sophisticated TV
remote control if youre so inclined.

allow you to write user programs, I know of no one that allows to to
hack the operating system. What a warranty nightmare that would be.
