Dear Sylvain,

Thank you for your e-mail. This is very nice but I cannot accept such
a donation. I received hardware in the past, including a Zaurus from
you and a Nokia 770 from Martin Buis, and I should say this was and
continues to be extremely helpful to develop Einstein. Yet an iPhone
would not be a significant additional help.

The very principle behind OpenEinstein is that anyone can port it to
any hardware. As soon as a toolchain is available for the iPhone,
which might happen within a week or two, Einstein could be ported
there in a matter of one or two days. And I am ready to help whoever
would like to tackle this.

Regards,

Paul
