New Linux PDA Announced At CES Today

Posted by timothy on from the the-field-gets-crowded dept.

It looks like the Royal Linux-PDA project has borne fruit. Bill Kendrick writes: "Linux Devices reports that Royal (makers of the DaVinci PDA) have announced yet another Linux-based PDA, called 'Lin@x' (how do you pronounce that!?). Unlike the DaVinci (and the Agenda VR3 -- Agenda Computing is owned by the same company as Royal), this PDA sports a 206MHz StrongARM, a color screen, and a CompactFlash slot. Planned price is about US$300." According to the PR, it will come bundled with software for Linux desktops as well as for Windows, which would be a nice touch.

    If it can run Linus, theen it can be ass immilated into my immense beowulf cluster (which, you can imagine, contains well over 5 machines).

    Then I will play my favorite game on it, DOOM.

    It will be fun, but DOOM is a very, very scary game in which you shoot monsters and evil humans so it will also be scary!

    According to RMS from a few years back it should probably be LiGNU@X - obviously pronounced "licks nuts."

    Nice, but I'm holding out for the 1337 h4x0r 1i|\|@>< model.

    It's a sad day when marketing droids are trying to be fashionably 1337.
