Does it have a high-speed USB 2.0 host interface?  I'd love to use the USRP 
with my Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000, which has the USB On The Go dual device/host 
interface plug, but only runs full speed, not high speed.  And, as I mention 
below, the OpemEmbedded buildsystem used to build OpenZaurus (and Familiar, 
for the iPaq users) builds the Debian usrp packages for it.  I'm not running 
OZ yet on my Akita (the nickname for the C1000), but when I do I plan on at 
least trying the usrp packages out.  It would seem to me a firmware change 
could enable full speed operation on the USRP; it would of course limit your 
bandwidth to 150kHz max, unless you want to do chopped sampling like the 
SDR-14 does at the higher bandwidth settings.

The OpenEmbedded project builds usrp and friends, but not the GNUradio python 
stuff.
