[XCSSA] Palm Pre Hacking!

[X-otic Computer Systems of San Antonio]

LOL, well the whole Pre v. the Iphone debate will rage on like so many
past fires before it, but I could care less.. :P

I have a phone which is finally customizable the way I want it.  I was
messing around with a debian chroot on it earlier (really want to get
Doom working on it. :P ) but there are a lot of Luna (webos) hacks.
Some of them are of the "why didn't they do that by default" hacks and
others are more XCSSA style "let's use the flash LED as a real
flashlight... well even though we have to SSH to turn it on, :P"...

I've got a list of some hacks that I have tested so far and work, but
the kicker is that there is a huge repo of software available (both
commandline and Luna) over in the optware repository (the same guys
that brought us nslu2-linux, etc..

If I lived in San Antonio, I'd love to come down and do a
presentation.... wait a minute, I might make a weekend of it at some
point.  I have monday and Tuesdays off. :P  Besides, I miss the pizza
hacking hardware eating times.. oh wait, reverse that.
