Not exactly sure what you mean by "general purpose computing" but it certainly isn't hard to hook the internal controller boards up as a standalone controller if that's what you are after. I also wouldn't count on this becoming available to purchase either, we haven't really given that aspect of it any serious thought yet.I have this mad dream that someone will come along and make one of these game console inspired pocket computers that uses the buttons as a chording keyboard so that they can be used for general purpose computing rather than just gaming (without needing bluetooth accessory). Maybe I'll grab one of these when that's possible and try to hack that together myself....
