Comment on Startup failed, giving away free Qwerty Arm7 mobile devices for cost of postage

I wish those things had some kind of signed bootloader and smartcard; they'd be awesome for a secure password management device.

When I first saw the Peek, I was wondering what it would take to turn it into the ultimate drug dealer/activist/etc 2-way text device; everything proxied through a secure multi-stage relay (like Tor), anonymous flood-fill messaging (like posting an encrypted message to a usenet group; the key is the address), etc. Something with a hacked baseband to let you change the IMEI periodically would be better, though (or wifi with MAC rolling).
