Very nice piece of hardware and the possibility of running something different than windows is good.
The only thing missing is an included mobile phone :-)
It also has an infrared port so maybe it could be used as an remote control. Now that would be funny, programming some script to send commands and walk into a electronics shop :-D  :-D

Amithlon would need drivers for the custom hardware in it (touchscreen, display drivers etc. ) but UAE should run i think.(it is using the windows drivers)

O2 xda with mobile phone .  out now.  is also a very nice piece of hardware. Unfortunatly running windows (pocketpc) only.  but imho the virtual (touchscreen) keyboard makes it look much better.

It depends on how standard the hardware is.
They dont mention qnx on the tiqit site but they do mention linux so there is a chance it wil work.

qnx does have support for touch screens and usb, maybe the sound is Ac97 standard. but it doesnt support all the latest hardware versions.
( i dont know if qnx 6.2 will work with OsXL for sure since some things like memory handling and memory sharing have changed)

unfortunatly, most of these new devices are sort of expensive and thus targetted at the (semi) bussines market and so it needs to have word excel outlook compatability (and windows).
