I am currently taking the time to drool over various screenshots and ported applications.

Guess what's been ported already? AbiWord, two IRC clients, Gaim (sorta), GPE's PIM suite, Plucker viewer (yay!), at least two more open-source browsers, ScummVM, ... It's just already amazing.

And I found (after a quick Google) that the expected price is $350 US (translating to roughly $410 CAD). Pretty reasonable, in my opinion... Especially considering the possibilities. Now, if only I can get my hands on one sometime soon...

I wonder when someone'll port a terminal program, or at least SSH. That'd make it just *that* much more powerful. Especially with that wonderful high-res screen....
