I'm interested in developing for the TV Computer. Has anyone successfully used the Flash Cartridge from RetroZone.com with the Maker Shed console?

I don't know if the hardware design can be tweaked, but it would be helpful to have a wireless capability of some sort built-in. Being able to have e-books downloaded into the unit would be a great feature.

Another approach would be to use an external SD card for wireless, but then you're adding a $99USD card to at $12 computer. A 2G USB flash card costs around $10USD now, enough storage for hundreds of software applications.

The scalability issues are going to be software availability, based on how many people will want to develop the skills set for programming the device.

GEOS for the NES chip would be a good offering, but many NES/nbasic applications obviously aren't designed for it.

A LOGO language interpreter would help introduce Constructivist education approaches.

Compatibility with Commodore 64 or Apple ][ software would be helpful, but having a wireless networking capability built-in (perhaps using the Marvel chip used in the OLPC XO platform) would be useful, too.
