[hpsdr] Pico-ITX as possible processor for HPSDR?

[Tim Schoenfelder]

I've been interested in a handheld version of this radio.  I believe that
the siren board is aligned with that goal at least to some extent.  To that
end, I've contemplated something with a USB interface such as one of the HP
Ipaqs or their legacy Compaq Ipaqs.  Possibly even using an Iphone...if I
could write an application for it.

One of these has a built-in OS, HMI, and other functionality providing
additional versatility.

Your thoughts?
