That's exactly the kind of hardware I was thinking
of... and exactly the
kind of
business model I *wasn't* thinking of.
Maybe they, or someone like them, could sell more hardware if they "let go"
of the software? (They'd certainly sell one to me). And that's how they
actually
make their money, right? By making hardware and selling it to people?
the reason there is no linux sdk is because they don't have the time
or the manpower to develop the kit. they asked me if i'd be willing to
do it, but they weren't prepared to actually pay me to do so :) they
are really quite linux friendly. if you have time on your hands, i'm
pretty sure they'd be happy to let you develop an sdk for linux for
the chameleon and give it away.
