Particularly, hope you are not a spin-off of a big industry has have provided you with a magic USB chip with a propietary driver working only in linux 2.4.x (The chip is great, it does USB both ways, so you can be master and slave of the bus at the same time. )
Then hope do you not get a flash memory chip with is famously one of the better ones of the market but, guess what? It depends on a propietary driver for some of their anti-wearing features, and the existing linux driver probably gets a poorer performance.
And finally hope you have not decided to work with the most advanced screen technology in the market, geting involved in a lot of red tape papers of patent rights and agreements where you do not know even if you can release info about it.
