What does everyone think of the Zune for wearable applications?
The board itself is cheap at ipodmods.com @ 99USD.
The hardware is impressive: a Freescale processor capable of moderate video
and has two USB hosts, wifi, ATA, LCD...

I am really thinking hard about hacking one up.

The wifi I anticipate to be the hardest to get working under linux.

The Toshiba Gigabeat S does not have the wifi I think... and I don't know
where to get Gigabeat S repair parts either.
It does have USB though, atleast one host. It was designed to allow digital
cameras to connect to it so you can grab the pics off of the camera and
view/store them on the Gigabeat S

Should I be looking at Archos devices instead? Which Archos models make good
wearables?
