Cool Linux-based web device

DrStrange writes "I just noticed that Screen Media has updated their pages with info about their upcoming "FreePad"... It's a Linux based wireless web device and phone with touch screen, and according to one of their techs it's only 2.4cm (less than an inch) thick! The same tech also told me they'll be using NanoGUI for the graphical frontend! "

Not everyone works at a desk. Some people need access to their information at work from anywhere. Mechanics, nurses, shipping/receiving folk, and many, many more who work in time-critical environments where they need instant access and can't have terminals everywhere, and certainly can't take the time to log in. Like, if a patient is crashing (in the medical sense) and the nurse on duty needs an instant judgement based on their charts and medical records.
