Jason, If you're interested in hacking these let me know. I was musing
recently about using Linux on these devices but Santa had other plans:

I believe there are usb monitoring apps around that can be useful for
creating Linux drivers, as would QEMU. Read how one Linux geek went about
connecting to his Garmin through QEMU:

Let me know what you discover!
