I can't anwser all of these questions, I'm not a part of the opentom
project. If you want to ask more questions to the people who are,
plase ask on the opentom mailing list.

I don't know, but IMHO it doesn't matter, because you can just use the
TomTom kernel.

The Opentom project is a bit... quiet...

With the TomTom provided kernels, the power consumption is next to
nothing. These devices are powered by a small battery, yet can stay
suspended for weeks.

I don't know, sorry.
