At that price I could see picking up one or two for hacking. It would make a great platform for an open-source reader software initiative.

Certainly would and the Smartmedia card could easily be hardware hacked for XD cards. They are electrically the same and you can already buy SM to XD card adapters. I do not know if the current rom would support greater than 128 Meg but then if you are hacking the OS this would be easy to fix.
