Looks good! It runs Linux, so the GPL requires source code be freely available, and being an XScale would help. I imagine that if you bought one for the pdaXrom developers, things might happen...

2.6 kernel too...

I just went googling for it, looks like the company no longer exists. The links to their web page were dead, and not even cached in google anymore.

I thought it seemed strange that they were going on about useful business applications :/

(Still sucked me in though)
