I also have a file browser and a few scripts to copy files from a menu system etc. The idea here is to build a localized note taker type device for South Africa. I am doing this in work time, so I will first have to find out what the procedure for releasing it is, but it will be open-source and would be available for use in Free soft or whatever you want to call that. I have done some other work towards the creation of the note taker as well. People can mail me should they want more info.
