Hi Roger,
There are no details about what the device has inside and whether it's
exatendable. You may need to contact the vendor to ask about
installing third party applications and Kexi in particular. Kexi
project does not deploy software, it provides it to vendors in the
source form.
I think the device you have is not a full PC-type device and does not
run standard operating system.
Idea of running Kexi 2.x on smaller form-factor devices is more than
interesting and we have some plans for the forthcoming development.
