Hello

Does anybody already planned to have a sword frontend running on this eBook?

http://www.irextechnologies.com/products

It's running Linux, with X11 (4bpp) and GTK, root access is available for
developers and third party software can be developped on it, it's using a
Wacom interface (and not just 3 or 4 buttons). You can add plenty of
disk-space (MMC-cards up to 1Gb and CF-cards up to 8Gb).

But, it's expensive, running Linux 2.4, according to
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1238478 power management is
bad (and WiFi too for "2nd edition").

Do you think front ends could run easily on it? I see that greylevel display
and very high dpi can be a problem for a vanillia gnomesword.
