	I have a related issue that maybe someone can help me with.  
	idon't have a cell phone; rather, I dont have a new, bleeding-edge
	cell because of my impaired speech.  but I am looking to buy a
	small box or tablet.  something that runs some variant of "unix"
	that I can install linux or android over and program.  

	I've already got an eee-900A with 16gig of SSD.  time to try
	something else that has [1] a keyboard, and [2] a speaker.
	I'm looking for some small platform for my "voice-by-computer"
	gtk-accessibility program for the speech impaired.

	any ideas?  

	tia,

	gary
