Royal Linux PDA Finally Coming To Market

Posted by simoniker on from the i-dub-thee dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to LinuxDevices.com: 'After a false start and a delay, Royal appears ready at last to ship its Linux-based PDA, the Linea LX. The Linux LX is now expected to arrive this quarter, priced at $399. The device will be based on a 200MHz Motorola i.MX1 MDragonBall processor equipped with 64MB of SDRAM and 32MB of Flash memory, and will include Trolltech's Qtopia graphical framework and PIM suite.'"

    I predict a TOWERing failure if it's launched over here, after all, it'd be far too easy to confuse with the Royal Linea GE, and Queenie gets all upset when people start abusing the Royal name :-)

    I think you're missing the point; minaturisation costs money. Try lugging a real HD around. Plus the sales volumes are smaller.

    They both run QTopia. You'll be able to use the same synchronisation software on both.
