I've been following ECO's progress and I'm hoping him and I can work together on this project.I've been loosely experimenting with Android's source and app development, not to mention I've been dev'ing in Linux for a long time (currently working with Gentoo). I feel confident that we can build a custom ROM for our slates with pretty high performance optimizations and including a new repo system for apps that we can rip from the Marketplace. By this I mean building a new kernel using a decompiled reference of the current kernel and patching a new customized kernel on top of it.I run an R&D lab and tomorrow when I pick up my M001 I'm going to look at it more thoroughly with our lab equipment. From the pics I can tell the WIFI board is nothing more than a USB-standard board, which means that with some software engineering we can replace it with a more standard b/g board and support bluetooth. Of course that's where the custom kernel comes in and will be the first step in software development.I want to take a closer look at the slotted processor, the 8505 chip, and see what's going on there. It's interesting that it's sitting in a DDR2 slot, which shows me some potential for some modding there. I don't know what, but I feel like there's some modding potential there.If I can reverse engineer the majority of a PS3, I think this should be a piece of cake.
