Since I buy a flasher, I have in mind to make some PDA-like software for gameboy advance (clock, agenda, taskmanager, contacts....) ... but the big big big problem of the Gba is ... "no keyboard" ...

AND SO ... this problem remember me a cool opensource project caled "Dasher"

look at this if you have some time http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/

in this system you need just joypad (and one button to begin and stop scrolling)

I don't know very well the power and limitations of the gba but a simplified version can be portable (i think... i hope)

Is there some poeple interested in this project



(excuse my poor english plz)

It is possible that thorgull meant that there's no massproduced keyboard available to the general public. :)
