Is there any discussion of using a microkernel, such as L4, GNU/Hurd, or the Linux on L4? These aren't complete, but, a high profile project such as this could speed the development of any one of these. A small micro-kernel that is highly tuned to the individual CPU being used seems like it would increase performance and lower battery usage and could be very good for a project like this.
