Right, gotcha. And I'd imagine with that processor and usb capability, hacking it shouldn't be that much of a stretch. But yeah, from the press releases I'm seeing, it's not going to do it out of the box - although it's a shame.

I'd love to play with one of these, hopefully it uses Android and is a Linux OS. That would mean we get access to a whole range of apps  Exciting stuff! |
