Description of a reverse engineering project that has hacked its way to 
a Linux console on the Kindle and found: a minesweeper game, a picture 
viewer, and a connection to Google Maps (apparently with some initial 
work done toward a GPS "What can I buy around here?" function).  Maybe 
this is a peek at Kindle 2.0 functionality.

If nothing else, the source blog posts are an interesting record of 
someone who *really* wanted to know how his Kindle worked.
