Linux Based Webpad

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the show-me-something-besides-a-web-site-please dept.

nordicfrost pointed us to a Web site that has announced a Linux based Webpad. It's got lots of nifty features (although I really want an 802.11 wireless ethernet as an option) including changable color plates, cable TV Viewer and other stuff. I still want to see one of these things that isn't vapor.

    Go and get a gridpad pen based computer, Install Linux on it. Tweak and Fix the mouse driver to support the touch screen (if it isnt already) and Voila! you have a pen based Linux pad! (Wireless? add a wireless modem into the pcmcia slot)

    This is simple, I have a linux pad made from a Gridpad (386, B&W screen 640/480) that I paid $100.00 for at the Dayton hamfest.. I just wish that gridpads that are pentuim class are easier to get ahold of (Or that the Dauphin Orasis didnt cost $4000.00)
