Hi
I definitely buy it. I hope it would be possible to have 1Gb RAM.
My 2 cents:
1. Have you considered a kickstarter project? It could probably attract more people via ads and stuff.
2. Have you considered making it hardware-hackable like raspberry pi? By adding and documenting few gpio/spi/i2c ports inside the phone (like debug pads under battery of N900) it may attract even more audience. (oops, you already consider it, thanks!)
Thanks!

This has been a fairly major concern in discussions I have had with others, particularly on Reddit.

I'm hoping to get a very viable alternative with RAM on MMC interface, which should be magnitudes faster particularly on writes, than the lame flash-storage used for swap on N900.

In situations like these, I turn to the dark net.
Unfortuantely FreedomHost took a lot of the good stuff down with it.
But you may want to check the Evil Wiki. Not sure if anything HERE could be useful.

something I had previously considered months ago as
a sort of dream-fantasy wishful-thinking sort of thing,
-but !
referring to my post yesterday (I have been absent)
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91283
I just bought a whole tablet from hiton in china
and my take is they could actually do this sort of thing
as a complete badged project for a price that would
not put it out of reach.
They seem to be making phablets and my experience
this week is the hardware they use is linux-friendly.
Maybe give them an email
(I can give you the email corresponder as an intro if you like)
[disclaimer - my mom worked for TI in DFW and Austin years ago
but her inside scoop is no longer available as I don't know how
to use a ouija board]
