Sure. By satellite transceiver, do you mean a ground-station or a
device to be lofted? At $30,000 per pound (lofting fee), I think I
would try to use a PIC chip rather than one of those HUGE hardware
platforms capable of running Linux. Even without the LCD, it would cost
a fortune to loft a Zaurus!
