Ummmm....my point was "Legos" was wrong. We didn't really need your Copy&Paste to clarify that the company capitalizes their name.
And, in reality, it's LeGo....even if the company won't admit it...the name of the company comes from the Danish words "Leg Godt" which mean "Play Good".
My current Sony weighs 98lbs. Sounds like nothing. I mean, I can quite comfortably hump a 98lb girl all night;-)
BUT.....when I bought my Sony, I didn't take the dealer up on the free delivery....we removed it from the box and I hauled it by myself into the car....and out when home...across the drive...and up the stairs. FUCK ME! It was a long haul. Sony make TVs that are not move-friendly. 98lbs doesn't sound much until you have to do what I did and realize that it has no FREAKIN' HANDLES!;-)
You can call other SIP users, from the SIPphone website:
"SIPphone lets you call users on other popular SIP services like FWD and Iptel as well".
Also, these are regular BudgeTone model 101s from what I can tell...they're not made by SIPphone, there's no "technology" involved on their part, they're just selling someone elses hardware under their 'brand'.
This is getting very interesting....I mean, if a judge eventually finds that SCO have unfairly scared Linux users into licensing something, surely the ramifacations are huge? Not only being able to see your original license fee, but also probable damages....
Also, why isn't SCO purely chasing the vendors, letting the courts decide, and if they *did* decide in their favour...then going after users for licenses too?
Also, I note that it mentions kernel 2.4 "and above"....if we were to identify the "offending parts" and write them out, what then?
This is actually pretty significant...and kudos to the Chinese for making it happen.
About the only mainstream chip that I can think of off the top-of-my-head that's not U.S. bred is the ARM (which is British in origin). (I'm sure there are others, but you get my point).
And for all of you who say "this chip has lame performance", think back 5-10 years. If you had something like this 10 years ago, you'd pee your pants. This is like going from 0-100Kmh for the Chinese....many don't have any computing resources....chips like these will start to make things accessible for many (although not all).
Also remember back in 1986 when your relative who had a computer did all his accounts on an IBM XT? You don't need gobs of computing power to do basic business functions...and remember the majority of businesses *anywhere* are small businesses with less than 10 employees.
Technology is also quite often culturally imbred....ever looked at how many consumer electronics devices are HUGE in Japan, but don't take off in the U.S.? It's that embedded cultural technology difference....and maybe with China having some homegrown options, they can develop systems that better meet the needs of their population.
Define "real computing"...you'd be surprised how good these chips would be for embedded use.
Also how much horsepower do you really think you need to for basic email, web, word processing and accounts use? Remember: a lot of people used to run their entire businesses on IBM XTs!
I doubt you'll see anything particularly soon....for a multitude of reasons:
(1) Magnetics will be hard to put onto the same silicon die (2) Line-side, Ethernet is fairly high voltage -- see #1 (3) Putting everything on silicon limits connectivity options
Much more processing power, more RAM, more Flash memory, 100Mbit Ethernet onboard, 1-wire, CAN, I2C, SPI, much better CPU bus than the TINI (no CMOS load issues), etc. etc. And it's ~US$130 IIRC.
....teeth...and doesn't smell like week old tuna.........
(1) Get a 15" dildo (2) Get her nekkid in a dark room (3) Insert dildo all the way into her ass (4) She won't come back for more (5) Repeat 1-4 (6) Profit.... (ooops...wrong thread!)

Not going to argue with that....I can't speak for the rest of their product range, only really TVs.
..."can't go wrong with a Sony".
Obviously try-before-you-buy, but my 5 year old Sony is still a great, great TV.
Personally, I'd be wary of HDTV until it shakes down a bit more...but that's just me.

I design embedded systems for a living....I probably know more about "chips" than most...what's your point?

Actually, I know people who still do their books on a Commodore Amiga. It ain't pretty, but it works for them.

There are a *lot* of ~200-300Mhz machines still out there serving useful purposes....heck, a lot of schools still run PCs of that era in their labs

Anyhoo, just my two cents.

If you like TINI, you'll love SNAP more:

Much more processing power, more RAM, more Flash memory, 100Mbit Ethernet onboard, 1-wire, CAN, I2C, SPI, much better CPU bus than the TINI (no CMOS load issues), etc. etc. And it's ~US$130 IIRC.

Your concept is flawed. Any 'wireless link' that was running at a frequency that your phone could measure would, by very virtue, be illegal!
