I believe it needs a hacked version of the original firmware really and everything would work and if you could hack the internet and email apps in the Main Software so it would work with a network adapter to download email and that.
But that will never happen because there is no interest in the device no more and its too old now. I would like a hacked version of it. You could put a Raspberry PI in it and would need a 6 inch screen. I would like to use it as intended, as a phone and that.

Android's also way too big! Even the earliest version (I have one on my desk) needed 192MB. Current versions get a bit uncomfortable in 2048MB..
Linux is really too big for the E3; the OS, even the 10-year-old version the E3 used, doesn't scale down well that far. Now, if you wanted to port something like Minix to it...

Hi Nick,
Has anyone got any ideas on how to show a gif on the E3 screen..?
If you have a working framebuffer then fbvis is a image viewer by Ali Gholami Rudi who no longer uses X11. See his `FRAMEBUFFER' section. https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flitcave.rud...https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http://litcave.rudi.ir/&data=02%7c01%7c%7c55fc20814aba4056b1a708d6c191259e%7c84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7c1%7c0%7c636909226493582912&sdata=Mj5QB1qQspKqvPKiCIAIuuxQerS1U3HvjW4NLasb3RA%3D&reserved=0
