Tectoy Zeebo

A mysterious 3G-compatible digital-only game console from Tectoy. Releasing on May 25th, 2009 only in Brazil, and November 14th, 2009 only in Mexico, the Zeebo's ARM11-based CPU, 128+32 MB of RAM, and ATI Adreno graphics outputting up to 640×480 wasn't very good at playing games. Despite the fact that the system was aimed at developing markets, this ended up being a bit of a crutch for the system, as the system was simply not cheap enough in Brazil (it's main market) to make up for the weak hardware. Sales of the system only reached 30k, which was pallid compared to the company's expected 600k.

Operating Systems (ARM11/QDSP-5)

Android 2.2

A successful albeit extremely experimental port. From translating and reading the 2nd link, it appears that the code for this may be available in a repository somewhere.

Linux

Mere theory, unlike the Android port. The fact that Android is based off of Linux, however, means that this isn't pure theory anymore…

Opera Mini browser for Zeebo helps enable users toaccess all of their favorite Web sites

Just Opera Mini, without any special “traits”. What came with the system, which allowed users to browse the internet over 3G.
