I have the development kit for this, and it's very
complete (and for free, darned good).
At work we actually looked at this machine as a data
collection tool. For the money, it is a very good
deal.

Cybiko has, IIRC, been very cooperative in
providing information. They also
have their own developers kit that is either free,
or very cheap.
You can find this on eBay really cheap.

I thought the devkit was Win32 based?

I've also noticed that the O2 store in Leeds (West
Yorkshire, England) has
them for GBP 20. Or at least they did when I went
in to try and get my
mobile phone "topped up".
Now I know what I'm going to buy next - a pair of
Cybikos :-)
Later.
