I have been thinking along these lines for the past month or so. It started with the (latest) color screen thread. It seems quite obvious to me that my iPaq would make a killer empeg screen. Not only that, but I'm quite sure it runs the same ARM processor as the HSX-109.

I have little experience with the workings of the empeg's linux install outside of installing Display Server. But I have been thinking of putting a small Debian distro on the iPaq and then trying to get the car software on there. Having an Empeg distro would make this much easier.

I do, however, realize that this would be dangerous to Empeg Ltd. You could basically turn an iPaq with a PCMCIA hard disk into an iPod killer. What I'm trying to say is, I think an empeg disro would be harmful to Empeg Ltd. since there are many devices it could probably run on. I don't think the guys at empeg or SB would be too happy about the distro idea.
