Sigh. Me too. I want to build a StrongARM 1110 based machine with either
linux+squeak or just squeak. I believe I can do it a bit smaller than a
Palm III, maybe as small as a Palm V. 16-ish MB ram, 320*200 grayscale
screen. Basically a 3rd gen Itsy, plus some other bits. Maybe use IRDA as
a desktop machine connection. Maybe an addon unit to make a cellphone.
Somebody give a couple of million to get it started and cover 18 months of
development team work. Then maybe $5m to put together a plausible company.
Please? There must be at least a couple of millionaires reading this
list....
