Gumstix Overo Fire == nerdy gadget lust

I have been waiting a while for Gumstix to release a more powerful Overo board with the OMAP 3530 chip, and it looks like the waiting is over.  There are three new boards, but the one making me all hot and bothered is the Overo Fire.  For those not aware, the OMAP 3530 is a system on chip (SoC)where the CPU, RAM, 3D video and all the other goodies sit on a single chip.  The pics on the main web site above don’t do it justice, so here is a pic of the thing next to a AA battery.

So here is my plan…  I’m going to get Android running on this thing ASAP.  I think most of this work has been done already because the similarly spec’d BeagleBoard already has Android running on it.  I am hopeful that the patches are already documented somewhere but it wouldn’t be the first time I have hacked some Linux kernel and driver code.  The end goal is to have a sort of home hub or all in one remote console device with a touch screen LCD, VOIP speakerphone, all in one IR remote, , etc.  Bonus points if I can get ServiceMix or ActiveMQ involved somewhere along the line.  I think an OSGi API for the IR and home page would be rather sweet as well, don’t you?  I will post more in the next week or two once I get my feet back on the ground.  Too excited to think rationally right now 

The possibilities are endless, and I promise to open source everything under the Apache Software License where possible.  Should be a fun project, if anyone is interested in helping out let me know.
