Derek: I seriously doubt that you know anything in computer programming and especially in embedded computers. A Freescale iMX31 is an ARM core, a Samsung s3c2440 is an ARM core, a Samsung s3c2440 is an ARM core, a SA1110 is an ARM core, but they are *not* the same thing even if they are able to execute nearly the same thing, they have a lot of other peripherals that are NOT the same between them. I seriously doubt that Bookeen or netronix just remove the s3c2410 from the eb001 and put a s3c2440 on it just like this, they are mainly different beast... Just look at the PCB design, the eb600 does not have (for example) a NOR memory that the eb001 have, the eb600 use standard NAND flash where the eb001 use some USB like chip etc...

They are NOT the same thing, so different firmware, different source code etc...
