I’m currently compiling Minimo for the iLiad. It’s a pretty long process, been going for an hour so far. With any luck, I’ll have a web browser that will work with the modern web.
More updates to follow.
Edit: An update
I was unable to successfully run minimo on my iLiad. I believe it kept segfaulting on me. I've put this project to the wayside, and I'm working on another project. More details to follow.I haven’t posted here in a while. It’s been pretty quiet as of late. Right now, I’ve come to a stopping point waiting for iRex to make another move. There are a few apps I’d like to release as installation packages, but they work with the root file system. I’d also like to start compiling a group of libraries and other ipkg’s so that the iLiad can start tracking dependences for user created programs. Also, it will be nice once iRex adds package support into the contentlister. Once unbricking support is added (I don’t imagine it’ll be too long now), I’ll start posting more updates and some of the teasers I’ve only posted pictures of. I’ll also post the calibration tool installer I’ve created.
If you have any specific applications or ideas for one that you would like ported, let me know.
Over at the iRex forum, I'm trying to use my iLiad as a wacom tablet for my PC.

I've made some progress. However, I can't get Ubuntu to work with the tablet either in X or in a program like the Gimp. Either way, it does seem to be possible to use the Wacom tablet across the network.
Imagine, a wireless Wacom input device.... Now that's functionality. :)
I have gargoyle compiled and working on the iLiad. This looks like a pretty neat program.
I'll admit, I've never gotten into interactive fiction before. I played Zork a little bit when I was a kid, but that's because it was included in a larger game pack I had bought. Maybe someone who knows more about gargoyle and interactive fiction can help out...
The big problem I see now is that the window will be covered when you open up the keyboard to type. Perhaps I can change the window type so that is is more like mrxvt to solve this. This is the result after 20 minutes of work.
