i wouldn't know where to start, but would be really
interested in how you progress.
you know about noisebridge.net ?? there are a fair
number of people there who'd be interested, some who
probably already have a leg up.
"pmp" == portable media player yes?
probably you've got to select some existing device,
something that's got all the hardware needed and a CPU
that's got linux support?
then some linux kernel and the right device drivers?
then some app: maybe something you'd create? or
modify?
