We want to make a portable device for reading some text. It is made for ourselves, and as a practice of course. So we want get a low cost on hardware. Some one suggest that MSP430 should work fine, but i don't know whether it can afford the loads. It seems that lacking of support free os for MSP430 is another problem. Is there any better choice?Any help would be appreciated.
What do you need an OS for ?

Contiki,
I don't understand. If you are making a single unit, then unit cost shouldn't be a significant concern. If it is for practice, you might want to choose a target which is appropriate to what you are practicing for.
What do you mean by afford the loads?

Operating systems aren't needed for most simple jobs. There may be some inexpensive RTOSs for MSP430 -- I don't know.
Is there any better choice?
There could be, but without your criteria, it is impossible to know.
