Ya, project Nationwide Blackout.

I think Engadget predicted just this too...
Does is let you install Sense UI like the G1? That it sweet. They just got the new Sense UI running on that phone. http://www.androidspin.com/component/content/article/3-latest-news/199-review-sensehero-v10-build-26296
The universal messaging is a killer feature. I hear ya on Cyanogen's stuff, by Drizzy Drake's stuff is fantastic too. This and the pulse both are great, though this one is probably the best new phone OS out.
It's not bad. An easy install with Jacman's 2.0r6. Definitely better widgets than 1.7 had. Big issue right now is no MP3 support so no music and also no ringtones for incoming calls as well as no alarm clock. Kinda a big deal, but all things considered, I can live with it till the next rev.

JAC and Manup are the real heroes.
Try to run a VPN over it...

Also, I recommend checking out the Truffle, also by Mushroom Networks if this device is interesting to you. It allows the use of Ethernet handoffs in combination with cellular signals.

Also, check out companies like Fatpipe and XRoads Networks as they are also in this game and Fatpipe in particular is much further along in developing their product.

Also, remember, all of these devices are basically linux PC's with complex IP tables running and a web interface. Not exactly good for anyplace mission critical.
I'll be testing the new JAChero based on this tonight. I'll let everyone know how it works. The latest version before 2.0 was pretty snappy and stable enough for someone like me. Hopefully this compares.
That's not a new device. I tested that about 10 months ago. It's not the most functional of devices but it does aggregate HTTP traffic well enough. Everything else and you depend on a connection via their datacenter as I remember and I think they only have a DS3 there for all their customers to share.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for before getting an eBook reader. If this comes out and it's crisp and readable, I'll absolutely buy a reader based on it.
A cool keyboard? Impossible yet there it is!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
