It would seem to be our best hope in getting a decent, slimline open source web browser. Are there any plans to port it to GTK?

Whats this got to do with porting to the DC?
Its clear from your posting you have NO IDEA what open source software and MP3.com are about. MP3.com is a place where unsigned or little- known artists ( such as www.mp3.com/elementuk ) can get free promotion for their band by giving away songs on the site. There is absoloutely NO pirate music on their (unlike Napster/ Gnutella). Open Source software is the way it is because people feel generous and want to give back something to the free software community or think there room for improvement in the code which other people could deal with. Research before you post about things you have no idea about in the future please!
Is it any good? Anyway, for those (like myself) still listening to MP3s you will not find finer than those of EleMenT . There are six tracks to download and I can GUARANTEE you will not here another band on the net that are anywhere near as diverse and original as these guys!
As you say, I'd be able to run BeOS on ALL my machines, not just the PC, and the OS itself would have bugs in it killed quicker and new features added easier because it is Open. Why should ANYONE (except a selfish company/ person) NOT want a computer program to be Open Sourced, if the consequence of it being developed in such a fashion leads to a better program/ OS.
The benchmarks look pretty promising, but is BeOS going to get ports of big games like Linux? What they really need to do to steal the 'new gaming OS' crown from Linux is open source the OS. I'd love to finally be able to run BeOS 5 on my iMac as well as my PC. After some QUALITY MP3s? Check out EleMenT 's homepage. Six songs are freely available, and they won't be released anywhere else. Fortunately, they don't sound like any other band at the moment, but have been compared to such a diverse range of artists as Aphex Twin, Captain Beefheart, Kraftwerk, Pavement and the early Pink Floyd. There album was released last week- give it a listen- you WON'T be disappointed!
The thing is, in my opinion video gaming has gone down hill drastically since the SNES died and all this next- next gen console stuff started. The arcade scene has all but died, all you ever see are new racing/ beat 'em up games from about 3 companies (Namco, Sega + Capcom) and I can count the number of good games that I've played on PC, DC and PSX on one hand (Doom, Quake series, Rtype Delta and Blast Radius on PSX- but I admit Lemmings Revolution looks quite good). Where has all the originality gone? Games these days just depend on having the best 3D engines to display the most detailed bad guys. I much rather have a 4 player on Gauntlet or Vendetta on DC MAME!
I'd buy a DC if somebody ported MAME to it. Does this device allow a normal CDR to be inserted? Because if it does then how hard could it be to port the Windoze versions of MAME32 and SNES9X to WinCE? Suppose I'd prefer to run it under Linux or DCs native OS, mind. I'd also like to see DGen and UAE ported as well. I'd highly recommend you go and check out the EleMenT homepage if you're after some quality (and legal) free MP3s. Over the last 5 years they've developed a unique sound, but have often been compared to Captain Beefheart, Aphex Twin, Pavement, Kraftwerk and Syd's Pink Floyd. Get listening, you WILL NOT be disappointed!
