Their plan is to get some apps created before marketing it to the public. Check it out" I wonder if the USB port on the docking station would let these work with the Happy Hacker keyboard ...

    The story says it comes with one of the 2.4 kernel series. I'm just wanting to know if they shipped 2.4.11 or 2.4.15.
