Pepper Pad 2 Linux Web Pad

Posted by michael on from the zesty dept.

`Sean writes "Pepper Computer debuted their $800 Pepper Pad 2 at DEMOmobile 2004 this week. Specs include a 624 MHz XScale processor, 8.4" 800x600 TFT touchscreen, 802.11b+g, and 20 GB HDD running MontaVista Linux CEE. Out of the box the Pepper Pad 2 loads the Pepper Keeper as its GUI, but a full-blown Linux distribution with Java 2 JRE and X-Window System is sitting under the covers just waiting be customized. I personally can't wait to get a hold of one of these to turn into an OBD-II and telemetry workstation for the rally car."

    parent is offtopic, not a troll. i mean, if it were a troll, you couldn't trust the link to be what it says, right? kind of like a person saying "this statement is a lie." wait--now my head hurts. btw if it's used, not my fault.

    Does anybody know why this is? For a pro Unix pro Firefox site, you'd think they'd get it rendering properly.

    Thanks,
