Linux Finds Its Way to More Handheld Devices

Posted by timothy on from the promises-promises dept.

LXrider writes "The coolest new handheld to pick Linux as its OS is the Pepper Pad. This device was one of the most exciting products to be found at this year's otherwise lackluster C3 Expo in NYC. The Pepper Pad runs MontaVista Linux on a Intel XScale PXA270 (624 MHz) processor and it used for viewing multimedia, surfing the net, and controlling your home's electronics."

  1. 'Mail' application? by dot.solipsist · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    From the Pepper site:

    E-mail-Send and receive e-mail using the virus and spyware resistant Mail application. Mail keeps all your messages until you delete them [...]

    It is surprising that Apple hasn't reacted to Pepper's choice of name for their email client.

    rpm has long been relegated to the dustbin as a "package management system that truly sucks ass".
