Obviously I don't speak for developers, but I'm not sure a device with a processor which looks around 10% the speed of a Zaurus, 8mb RAM, and undocumented wireless nic is going to be interesting enough to warrant the time a port takes..(read the slides about the Zaurus port for some information about what's involved in porting to a new machine, it is a lot of work: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/ven05-niallo-uwe/slides.pdf). Looks like it needs very fine soldering skills just to attach a serial port: http://seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/SamSung4510
