autocratic for the people.

Smooth.

For the last few weeks, I've had 600 words in the edit queue about how great a general purpose, Linux-powered, PSP-ish handheld could be if someone would release it as a platform for general innovation. It'd serve as a great platform for prototyping, cost less than $100, and be able to run all sorts of mostly-illegal emulators on the side. Sold as a first product from an upstart open source bubble company, it'd probably be the first place to go for cool mobile-to-mobile apps and bizarre location-based services. It'd be too cool for school.

Well, before the post managed to come together, it turns out that someone's already made one. And they've done everything right! Except they forgot to release the complete source.

Which is, of course, the entire point.

Idiots.
