Hi all,
A friend of mine mentioned the "Chumby":
http://www.chumby.com/
In summary, it's an "alarm clock" with a small touch-screen LCD, 350MHz
ARM (with MMU!), 64MB flash and RAM, runs Linux, has wifi, USB, and
seems to have a decent community around it. It looks like they're
completely open source, and a friend of mine said they've released the
hardware design under GPL-like terms.
Anybody have any experience with this? I'm thinking about getting
one... looks to be very hackable and a decent platform to boot. It's
$180, though, which isn't something I want to just throw away if it
isn't as cool as it looks on paper.
