Probably, but there are still some missing parts (camera, usb webcam gadget,
sound, leds, gsm GPIOs)

I have found it is faster and funny to create from scratch (and openmoko
image is too old), so I've built it by Buildroot:

Busybox, Xorg and Matchbox, but as GTK apps are not too good for 240x320 resolution
I have made my own "GUI" (so I can control Magician even without any USB/IrDA connection).

Calls are planned but by now I'm receiving SMS by hand by writing AT commands :-D.

Magician is very limited by RAM (64MB + 64MB Flash), so I can only have C
applications (or shell :-D).
