Is anyone working with this system. Looks like a feature rich handheld running
linux with an open sdak. There is some talk of selling games on tagged SD
cards. I was wondering if anyone had one or are developing for it and what
their experience with it has been.

I thought about buying one for personal use and fun, but I think it's nothing to actually sell games, because it's no a mainstream device and those who have it are mostly coders and freaks. Of course, you could sell some games to them, but I don't think you can earn that much money.

If I had the time, I'd probably buy one as a toy to code for. Since most (if not all =)) of the people who buy one are getting one for either personal coding toy or to run emulators on, I doubt there's much of an actual paying audience there.

Wouldn't hurt to try, though, if your game is already based on, say, SDL, and has relatively simple controls..
