I'm quite interested in getting one for a blind friend to use. He's already running debian using yasr. My thought is that he can plug in a wifi adapter and bluetooth keyboard and a headset and do most of what he already does on it in his pocket, email, web, podcasts, daisy talking books, etc.

If you can provide a free one I'd be more than happy to give you plenty of feedback on what we get up to with it.

We have a number of guys that have made sounds about getting a few of these. I'd be happy to sponsor a bunch for free distribution if there is an appropriate local channel.

It even made it on the NZ Herald:

As usual, it takes a bit longer to get here:
"will be coming to New Zealand on the next run."
