Here are some photos and dissections of the Juicebox, a cheap LCD device that can play music and photos. It's based on uClinux, so there are a few projects currently underway to do some neat things with it.

Another good page for juicebox info is

That page includes a link to the Juicebox sourcecode and some discussion boards about hacking the thing.
