$99 linux

This is an embedded device, 90mhz, keyboard, display, and 802.11b for $99 that runs linux. if its not to hard to mod this would be a GREAT embedded box. I wonder how hard the GPIO is to expand?

mmc:
mmc/sd memory - or is this like the main master console thingy in xp?

i've REALLY wanted a palm style device i could plug a REAL keyboard into (preferably usb, but ps2 is ok) and then just pack around a keyboard with basically a screen for taking notes in meetings. notebooks are bulky and you're always looking for a place to plug in for extra battery, and they are so powerful you're donig things the long hard way because you can. give me a text editor and a keyboard; that's what i really want.
