G'day everybody!
I would like to know what you think about reactOS (http://www.reactos.com) and if it's possible to port it to the IT...
It is actually pretty fast - also on slow machines (like the IT) - and you can just install alot of windows-compatible applications on it - like the hole moz-stuff (firefox and so on)...
if you read the site a bit more, you will see this.

I think many (maybe most) people that bought the IT did so because it's a linux device. I personally bought it because I want to learn more about linux. There's plenty of Windows CE or such devices that fill the windows handheld need. Maybe that's what you're looking for...
I had some MDAs (some kinda "mobilephone-PDAs") before.
This devices always run windows mobile and this OS is extremly slow... Maemo is faster!
I think it would be great to have an tiny UMPC for 250$...
Wine won't work on the IT, because, as Benson said, there's no such thing as Windows applications compiled for the ARM chip. Wine needs an x86 chip to work.
