Survey of Linux-Based Gadgets & Devices
An anonymous reader writes "NewsFactor Network recently asked: Where Are All the Cool Embedded-Linux Gadgets? Well, LinuxDevices.com has just updated its answer to that question. The Embedded Linux "Cool Devices" Quick Reference Guide now encompasses 123 Linux-based gadgets and devices in 7 categories, including PDAs, mobile-phones, IP-phones, audio/video entertainment, tablet computers, gateways/routers, servers, wireless access points, robots, web-enabled cameras, telematics, industrial controllers, wrist watches, and last but not least, a DIY category: little Linux systems for projects and products. Lots of great pictures, too."
Aibo's don't have enough memory to run linux, but if they did I can imagine tens of thousands of them wandering the streets looking for 802.11b hotspots, finally converging in one area where their "owners" would arive and order espresso, pizzas, etc. I think the mp3 player in the Honda Element run's linux, though.
To boldly go where no Linux geek has gone before, eh?
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
Great, more things my wife won't let me buy.
Some people have a way with words, others not have way.
They forgot to list my favorite embedded Linux device :( Beowulf clusters of atomic supermen!
32 megs not enough for you?
Well, yeah, but only if you stick a memory stick up its ass but they are real slow when used for for dynamic ram..
