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. cheers Stuart Inglis, Director NetValue Ltd

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.
