Gadgets With Linux Inside
An anonymous submitter sends in a link to a quick reference guide of various devices and gadgets that are in some way running Linux. Cell phones, set-top boxes, web pads, internet radios, and some miscellaneous gizmos (definitely take a look at the "other" page).
DaimlerChrysler unveiled its newest concept car at the North American International Auto Show in January, 2001: the Dodge Super8 Hemi "all-American sedan." The vehicle's Infotronic system is based on four Ethernet-networked PC-compatible computers -- all running on embedded Linux.
"yeah honey, I need a ride home again... 1337 h4x0rZ again... yeah..."
I especially like Isamu , the humanoid robot =)
He would probably like to play with my stuffed Tux.
www.handhelds.org is a good web page devoted to PDA type information. As a point of interest, iPAQs can run Linux in several different flavors. The YOPY kit is rediculously prices and I don't believe I would ever buy one with the advances being made by the developers of Linux on the IPAQ. In my opinion, that is where the fun is if you want to work with Linux on a PDA. If you just want to use a Linux PDA you could get an agenda or wait for perhaps Sharp to release one later this year. HP has also made rumblings about a Linux PDA.
The Isamu Robot is really not new; CowboyNeal was built far earlier, and runs on Linux.
"personal satellite assistant", a must have. If only it could fly on earth. :-)
