Yes, I was referring to the AI Touch Book as being an actual Beagle Board product. As far as the connection with the Beagle Board and Pandora, I thought they were both using a similar SoC and software. Didn't they both start with an Angstrom base on an OMAP3? If this is correct, my optimism thinks there would be friendly code sharing and cooperation. And that also would apply to the Nokia team that was using Beagle Boards during the Fremantle/n900 development. I thought everyone was getting along and that all the good OMAP changes were being folded back into the Linux kernel. Now, if we could just get Nokia to use an open source boot loader...

Sorry for any confusion.
