What is the goal for the project? There are many platforms that might be appropriate. Why not start by writing code for an iPod Touch and then see how it goes from there? You will probably refine your ideas during prototyping, so starting with a flexible (if expensive) platform that is easier to program can be helpful. Another example of a small device that could be interesting is the "IM-ME", which sells for about $15 retail, and is pink! see http://hackaday.com/2010/01/06/update-more-pink-wireless-terminal-hacking/ http://hackaday.com/2010/01/06/update-more-pink-wireless-ter... and http://hackaday.com/2009/11/30/pink-wireless-terminal-of-wonder/ http://hackaday.com/2009/11/30/pink-wireless-terminal-of-won...
