AMD Demonstrates Linux-Based PDA at LinuxWorld
Misha writes "AMD has demonstrated a new Linux-based handheld at LinuxWorld. The OpenPDA runs on low-power Alchemy chips, with support for USB, Ethernet, UARTS. Here is press release. Among the highlights are: A comprehensive Metrowerks suit as the basis of OpenPDA applications, Qt, Java, Opera browser."
AMD seems to be using the buzzwords that attract geeks ("linux", "open", any cpu that isn't pentium or athlon) instead of buzzwords that attract money ("XML", ".NET") although they do mention "java" but I think that one detracts from both sides of the buzzword fanbase
bite my glorious golden ass.
Of course SCO is going to want $699 added to the price.
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS SPACE
okA suit? That'll be handy.
"Hey, are you just gonna walk into this meeting in jeans and a t-shirt?"
"Actually, no - I've got a suit right......here!"
Remember, In SCO $699 owns LICENSE!
1) $699 License
2) ???
3) PROFIT!
Pour hot $699 down Natalie Portman's SCO!

Dumb bastard! It is a MIPS CPU, not x86. It consumes less than a Watt. Without a heatsink you can't even feel the heat up when it is running 400MHz
Engineering is the art of compromise.
