User - yes, developer - no. To get working toolchain installed I need 128M
for rootfs. So I will have to boot from card or chroot to card or use
symlinks.

Is there something more which can be removed from Neo phone? It does not
have buttons (only 2 planned iirc), no wifi, no power for usb, probably no
bluetooth (not decided yet)... O, yes.. we can remove any equipment other
then charger - users will use 'mini B' cable from their camera, will buy
USB Host cable - this will be few EUR.

External storage is good for data. Installing software into flash (/) and
card (/media/card/) will require using of many symlinks to get it working
or moving / to card. Both things is something which I do not like.
