I've been looking at the SavaJe stuff too, myself and I noticed that they=
 used a sort of linux as their base
OS, on wich the Java stuff is loaded. I was trying to find the original=
 source on wich they built this base-
OS, but couldn't find a clue.

Brian:
Is there a place on one of the sites that specificly states what the exact=
 problems are that hold back a netBook 
release and what options are tried / used ?
One of the problems mentioned is for example the IR-interface and the=
 LCD-interface. 
To my knowledge these are both controlled by the SA-1100 and the=
 documentation is quite clear on how to do things.
Then what is the exact problem here:
- Psion is using some modified interface that disables the standard=
 interface
- The source ported from other devices that use an SA-1100 don't work=
 because of different implementation
- Other problems ?

Thanks in advance....
