I just wanted to say, as a user, that easy_install ROCKS :) When well
done, it's flawless and transparent. As almost everything here will be
python, it may be a good choice.

Some other questions:
- what about autonomy ? Standby (idle) time? "Regular use" battery
time? I know there won't be an answear, but i'd like to get a rough
estimation
- is there a mean of knowing the battery level (voltage) ?
- about IR: what can we do with it? I mean, of course using the
remote, but can tux emit IR? Or is it just recieving? Because if yes,
it means tux could act as the first vocal universal remote :)
- about voice recognition: any plans yet? TTS is nice, but voice
recognition would be awesome, primarily for bash/python script
launching (X10 controlling, login, ...)
- about mic : quality? Enough for basic voice recognition? What's the
peripheral (/dev/?) ?
- about service unification: is there a planned "super software", in
charge of launching and managing the queuing of all the software (with
app downloading for instance)?
- python question: what's the "command"/call for knowing the existing
objects? sort of "ls tux.cmd.* " ; i forgot it... I'm kinda python
newbie
- little feedback: at first my tux wasn't working at all ("dongle busy
or disconnected"), had to upgrade firmware, but then, everythin's ok.
The howto is cool, but lacks a little bit of clarity for the final
step (tux upgrading, apart RF). The tuxup -a worked, but looks a bit
dangerous...

And, an off one: does kysoh plan other toys in the future? I guess it
depends on the success of this very one...
