Yes and no. The phone image is read-only by default, with RW areas for user data / tmp / logs etc. You can easily make the RO portion RW, and then apt-get or dpkg install random packages. However the caveat is we never test that s

Surely this is nothing more than an advert for an amazon (and other) affiliate site? Saying "not an original idea" doesn't give carte blanche to basically spam a site.
