The problem is adapting the existing design to parts and processes =
available today. Examples:
* CPU (TI or Intel?)
* SDRAM
* Flash ROM (Intel StrataFlash or DOC)
* Display
* Audio CODEC
Adding new features like:
* CF or SD card slot(s)
* USB support (client is native to Intel PXA255 CPU, host or OTG will =
require a USB host controller)
* LION battery circuit
And, OS adaptation to new hardware and integrating new drivers.

Failing that there ARE firms in Taiwan that can and will cut open chips=20
and manage to copy them that way
They can copy or clone pretty much anything you hand them
Their minimum runs are in the 2500 piece range
I've just finished talking with one for a different project and they=20
have done this before (patents and IP notwithstanding)
A clean roomed Newton perhaps ?
