Today it was announced that such features led them to be used in a fridge that runs Linux and X11 with EFL. The Freescale i.MX25 based fridge by Electrolux (Frigidaire) provides the expected bits such as temperature controls and pre-set modes (vacation, party) as well as a special purpose drawer that cools your drinks and food with a beautiful UI. It also ships with handful applications for contacts, calendar, reminder, digital picture frame and even an illustrated recipe book from a famous Brazilian magazine."

I have already successfully compiled Tapioca in Maemo without the voice capabilities as it requires GStreamer 0.10, which is not available (yet) in the platform. But I got some problems on running Tapioca, because of the old version of DBus present in the device. So I compiled the required version of DBus and I could not figure out how to have the two versions of DBus running in the same machine.
