Ok guys just won my auction for a brand new reader from ebay, (220..okay deal for new in package i hope)

For all you crack devs out there, have any of you got a working development environment going for the reader? I want to make my own apps running natively on the reader itself. It seems to be a newer type Dragonball cpu on there so one would think some tools must exist.

Are these the Dragonball CPUs based on ARM9's or MOT68k? The pictures are unclear.

Are there any technical reasons app development couldn't be done?

Also, maybe tinyhttp is powerful enough on its own that some of the stuff I want could just be scripted? Any input anyone ?
