[ale] [Fwd: Hackable mini appliance at ThinkGeek]

[Rev. Johnny Healey]

I have the neuros audio player, which I've been mostly pleased with.  One
gripe though is that the processor is not supported by gcc, thus the open
source firmware can only be compiled by a proprietary windows-based
compiler.

Though, I assume that since this one is linux based it probably can be
compiled with gcc.
