I once mistakenly made the offer to someone inquiring about a Zaurus PDA that if they bought me one I'd be inclined to port to it. It was a nice device but the amount of time that would be required would be excessive. I retracted my offer once I figured out the price/effort ratio (someone was interested in taking me up on the offer too!). The N800 is in a similar price range to what the Zaurus was back then, and I really like it, but I'm trying real hard not to make the same mistake. If I had some free time and was looking for something to do I'd probably go for it, but I haven't been in that boat for years. Besides that, I already have a palmOne Treo 650 in my hands that I could write for, and a small Fluke Networks touch-screen device that runs Qtopia (Qt-based, but no X11) that I could play with as well. -- Curt, WE7U.
