New Project: Build a WinCE 4.0 (Talisker) OS for the EPODS

Ok guys, I've been kind of outta the loop with the epods lately, but I'm thinking of getting back in with this new hack project... Microsoft has released a Beta 2 Development package for companies to create versions of Talisker (CE 4.0) from the ground up for newly developed systems.
This seems like the most promising thing to have come down the pipe in a while in terms of creating an OS for the Pods. I already ordered the CD package [they just charge you for Shipping and Handling] but I'm not sure if I have the expertise necessary to do it myself. I want to start a chat room or board to specifically tackle this problem, a new os tailored for the amazing capability of the Pods would absolutely rock and bring new life to the community!

Please look at:

Doesn't this idea interest anyone here? Are there any hackers left on this board???
All I see is people unloading their EPODS instead of hacking them like they should! What is wrong with you people?

I don't know about the hackers, but some of us are still here just *using* the ePods. I use mine all the time, and soon I'll be doing some development for it, but I am more of an applications programmer, not an OS-level hacker. So all I can offer is encouragement.

I'm interested, but I too can only offer encouragement, that's way over my head.

Talisker would probably just choke on the epod.. it barely wants to run CE2. We still have yet to find a way to update the kernel on the device anyhow which would be required to get it to run any of the cool CE4 feature (same reason we have yet to get a CE3 Dx build going... but its on my mind). Anyway from what I have seen in talisker its not going to give the pod a whole lot more than CE3 would, ok IE5 and the option to save favorites... :) Once they patch the memory leek in b2 ie5.5 it may be a little more practicle...

Just checking in from time to time...
