</div>The hardware schematics and component placement are open too, so they even<br>
make it easy to hack the hardware. The bootloader is designed to allow new<br>
firmware to be flashed easily, and to boot from the SD card.<br>

</div>The open parts of android mostly work, and work is in progress to fix the bits<br>
that don't. You can check the changelogs here:<br>

Some of the android APIs, and apps that people think of as part of android,<br>
are closed and AFAIK won't run unless Google open them, or possibly recompiles<br>
them for armv4t<br>

</div>I'm quad- or quin-booting, I forget which, with android in NAND and 3 or 4<br>
others on an 8GB SD-card. That should be plenty big enough for android, qtopia<br>
and debian.<br>

<br>
</div>Me too ;-)<br>
