presumably any sa1110 cross-compiler would work, but there could be some
reason it woulden't.
in fact, any of the standard distributions of linux should run on it as long
as you can get the bootloader specs and how it does it's boot process.
of course, the braille models might need to know how to understand a brl
keyboard, but the qwerty model should resemble stock arm boards and
connectors other then the lack of visual display...
it should make no difference for the compiler of course. I woulden't want
to build on the machine itself, just as you don't compile stuff on your
ipaq. you generate cross-code or multi-platform code and the strip it or
whatever.
the beauty will be in adding a later kernel and seeing it take more recent
cf cards ... like the support for gps and cellular cards whch would add
instant functionallity without any intervention from the manufacturer...
this is in particular contrast to the humanware model where you cant really
do anything with the underlying operating system...
to me, the brlnote is like selling software that is accessible, but not
being able to use windows itself... kinda like the early days of arkenstone
or something...

the ELBA will have a compiler available for it. It will not come as standard
with the unit though. Also obviously, it is a palm top and not a full blown
laptop. This restricts the amount of memory that is available. However, you
will be able to use off the shelf products such as microdrives for storage.
The latest one that I've seen is by Toshiba, it has 5gb of storage and sells
for around $399. Of course they also have smaller and less expensive models.
