Me too. The one thing I can't do with it that would be really useful is reading from a USB stick/drive.

Mac OS has already been done and Google themselves give instructions on how to stick Ubuntu on it for replacement or dual boot.

Also, if you try to upload photos or documents through a web app (I tried facebook's, but I've heard others work) you are given a simple browser that will let you view the underlying file system and see the contents of your USB flash drive.

I've done that - I'd just like to get at it by dragging and dropping files rather than via a console. Lots of people have USB sticks, not so many know their way around BASH. Almost every PC has a USB connector, but it's not so unusual to encounter older ones that don't have wifi or be in some place without a good signal. In these cases it's hard to transfer data onto the CR-48 for later upload to the cloud.
