Unfortunately, I don't think this is ever going to happen, primarrily because the people working on the 770 have never seen a Linux box that didn't have GNOME or KDE installed. *sigh*. I'm on the verge of doing this myself, just to see how big the difference is.
It would be nice to see a different Linux distro for the 770. It was done for the Zaurus platform and ended up being better and more popular than the default distro.

3) GIVE UP ON HANDWRITING RECOGNITION. Nobody uses it!
Well, I use it, so by definition it has to stay.

It just has to become better than that piece of garbage that is included.
