[BRLTTY] BRLTTY with small, portable devices

A recent discussion raised the following question, which I've been considering
posting to the list for a while anyway.

There are portable, low-powered devices entering the market now such as the
Raspberry Pi. they're mostly based on the ARM architecture. In theory, anyone
who wants a very portable solution for circumstances in which a laptop isn't
necessary could do it with a small device, a battery, a Bluetooth interface
(connected by USB if needed) and a braille display with a braille keyboard.
Linux would be run on the device with BRLTTY, of course.

Has anyone tried this? Any experiences?

I don't need to do this at the moment, and in any case, braille input is
awkward on my current display, but it's an interesting idea that seems worthy
of starting a discussion.
