That's true about the humble machine of mine (unfortunately!), but the new 
generation of these devices have batteries that will play audio for hours on 
end. Also, even the old zaurus which I have takes CF disks, which these days 
are not hugely expensive even for 256MB. So let's try leaving it in for now 
(if you don't mind) and if it becomes a problem we can remove it later. I'm 
currently trying to cross-compile libquran at the moment (with speex format 
included) and I think it's going to work OK.
