So are there images for other tablets available or planned? Can we build 
ones for other hardware? I'd like to try building one for old Nook Color 
I have here (currently running CyanogenMod).

I understand full sources may take a while but even freely available 
recovery images for current tablet would be good start.

Also, BTW, where are the required GPLed source bits (linux kernel, 
bootloader,...) for people who might want to port something else 
(android based or not) to the tablet?

Is there a SDK for android developers who want to target specific 
features of XO tablet and/or add app to xo-tablet specific app store 
e.g. someting similar to
