Then you take the schematic-capture and BOM files (which are hard to get
at the moment,
I'll give you). You run the auto-routing, which, in my experience,
takes care of 85-95% of
the task, and you have a board layout in your new "squeezed" format.
In fact, the existing
PCB files are nearly-useless for taking the existing layout and
squeezing it into a new form
factor--particularly one as dramatic as the existing square board and
packing into a
cellphone format. There'll be virtually 100% "rip-up and re-route".

What a lovely "appliance" it is, too. But really? The *dozens* of core
developers of Gnu Radio who've
built an entire eco-system around USRP1/2? They're "just appliance
users"? Oh yeah, right.
Hardware is hard, and software is easy.
