AMD Moves Closer To Linux PDA

Posted by simoniker on from the portable-penguin-power dept.

Ryan writes "Mobilemag is reporting that AMD has advanced the prototype design of their current Linux-based PDA handheld, adding full-screen video capabilities, and completing work on the device's battery charger. The device is based on AMD's 400MHz Alchemy 1100 processor." However, "AMD has yet to find a hardware maker that has committed to bringing the Alchemy-based reference design to market as a commercial product."

    Umm... folks, I may be wrong, but this comment doesn't look like flamebait to me. I don't think that he's saying that it isn't ready for the desktop... I think he's offering the handwriting and speech recognition as proof that it is... But I could be wrong.
