[Asterisk-Dev] Asterisk Embedded?

[Kenneth Shaw]

I am toying with the idea of creating an "embedded" form of Asterisk for
two purposes:

1) Deployment on Handhelds and Wireless devices
2) Deployment on Kiosk terminals

For Handhelds & portable devices -- the idea would be to deploy next
generation systems that have WiFi/Cellular capabilities as well as
Video, etc.

For Kiosk terminals -- either in deployment for sales terminals, or next
generation phone booths, etc.

Why Asterisk? 
1) Supports most major Codecs
2) Supports most signaling protocols
3) Streamlined patches to accommodate bugs/quirks/etc. in other
implementations
4) Nothing like this currently exists
(but you knew this already, didn't you?)

Other reasons:
1) Cross platform VoIP softphone
2) Greater compatibility in telephony applications
3) Embedded Hardphones running Asterisk on all types of interesting
hardware (can you say WiFi enabled video cellphone?)

Any angry comments, suggestions, reference to a project already like
this in the works, or just plain advice, are all greatly appreciated.
