I don't know if you ever used wine for gaming, but I certainly wouldn't call it flawless, or even close. Running non-native games on a phone sounds awful!
Now name popular games for linux not made by ID Software or ported by Loki..
Drivers barely work in windows as is, like adding ARM and variants to the mix will help at all.
Not to mention getting software compiled to run on it, developers won't like it at all. Adding a compatibility layer for x86 apps would defeat the point.
Just buy a Nokia N8x0. I am willing to bet you can pick up an n800 for well under $200. The N810 is a bit more but has a slideout qwerty keypad. Its a nice web browser, or portable video screen with great battery life.
Lets stop reinventing the wheel and use what hardware and software is already out there!

Pretty sure you would get arrested for posting Craigslist type services on Ebay. Never seen those services offered on Ebay!
I wonder what other cool features they will implement for the VooDoo!
For some phones, the game gripper is a good option http://www.game-gripper.com/Default.asp
Does not require root, as it physically pushes the keyboard buttons.
These new releases are sucking more and more to install.
Ubuntu is beginning to feel like LFS project for me to config a new install..
From getting a new job!
Thats what she said.
It's good to see cheaper android phones coming out soon.
I am still waiting to upgrade from my g1 to the g2, if they can ever perma-root that thing!
Second Life is not a game. It is a multi-user, virtual environment. It doesn't have points, or scores, it doesn't have winners or losers. -- Dwight
Oh it has losers... -- Jim
They can already read your emails..
Pulling out has always worked for me..
Arrested as in beer, not as in speech.
O'Doel RULES!
I, for one, appreciate everything you have done for the computing world!
I hope you have a great birthday and had a merry Christmas!
At the moment, they have only embedded a single LED
I will be more impressed when they get a single fluorescent bulb in there...
Its a gift from Apple, so you don't have to use 2 horrible products at once!
I can't even access the TPB site at all.
