Interesting little device.

Looks to be a problem to network easily, but the the USB connection 
looks promising.  I don't think there is a built in Bluetooth either, 
haven't found anything like that yet anyway.

It does support a browser called "Links", but no Javascript support.  
Although, I think OPERA or Firefox might be ported to it.
