Ah...that is why you seemed so comfortable playing around Android. I've never heard of the Zaurus but I'll make sure to take a look at it (I have a soft spot for old electronic devices).

Are there good resources that you know of that could explain how Android works and how to modify it? I have learned a lot so far but feel that I am lacking knowledge to go any further.

I think the IQ would benefit from a custom ROM such as Cyanogen since we can pretty much forget about Honeycomb. as it seems that it will require a dual-core processor such as Tegra and a 1280*720 screen according to Engadget...
