#2Ha! Preemptive multitasking and a rotating cube as a demo. Nice work. Would love to see this ported to something else constrained like the Pebble Watch.

#5I wish there was an open-source OS supporting phones like Nokia 1202 http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_1202-2573.php or cycle computers http://www.sigmasport.com/en/produkte/bikecomputer/topline_w... - tiny devices with dot matrix displays and traditionally limited capabilities.
I thought it's never going to happen (unless I get wealthy and support creating such a device, of course) but this one is close.

#6Holy heck, an in-browser demo. I've always wanted to try KnightOS but the TI-Nspire steadfastly refuses to run it.

You certainly could replace the memory chip of whatever device you want. Chances are, as long as it has a few necessary components (or code to emulate them) Linux will run pretty well.

Rockbox is also sort of close: http://www.rockbox.org/
I guess it already supports more chips and screen sizes than something aimed at TI calculators would.

You're in luck!

#10Neat. I sold my TI-84 Plus in favor of a HP RPN calculator:
It's not really comparable, but there are more open source projects around calculators like the WP34s[1] project which turns a cheap HP business calculator (HP 20b/30b) into a RPN calculator with a lot of features.
