I had an exchange with one of their reps several months ago. They
supposedly considered an open-source development but settled on
licensing this third-party system because it was cheaper.
And it certainly is. The viewer still doesn't work with the standard
up/down buttons (I thought there was a palm widget for that.) I also
get some fun lockups in not-quite-reproducible combinations of looking
at the schedule, clock, and home screen, depending I believe on the
phase of the moon, ambient temperature, and how late the train is
running at the time.
