That's too bad, because those little Wifi SD cards are actually pretty awesome for microcontroller projects, since you can talk to them over a standard SPI bus, and they're fairly inexpensive for what they do. Hopefully Transcend opens the source. If they did, then there would be more reason to actually buy these cards as embedded Linux systems, meaning more sales for them.
EDIT: I wonder why hardware manufacturers are so insistent on keeping the source closed for products such as this. From what I've heard, the software onboard the card is quite buggy and contains numerous exploits. If they just let the community help improve it, I'm sure we would be seeing better alternative distributions for this card (kind of like Cyanogenmod with Android)
